Applications are due by January 10, 2025.
Patrick Leahy Farm to School Grant Program Turnkey grants available through USDA simplify the proposal-writing process by providing pre-designed activities to simplify applications for frequently proposed farm to school projects. There are three Turnkey Grant project tracks available in FY 2025: Action Planning (developing a roadmap for farm to school activities), Agricultural Education, and Edible Gardens. Eligible applicants for the Turnkey Grant may include schools and other institutions that operate child nutrition programs, Indian Tribal Organizations, agricultural producers or groups of agricultural producers, nonprofit entities, and local agencies. The FY 2025 Farm to School Turnkey Grant awards projects of 24 months in length for funding up to $50,000. Applicants are required to provide matching support of at least 25% of the total project budget in the form of cash or in-kind contributions.
