New Mexico has a growing need for localized food production and distribution.
Are you a small farmer or rancher who produces and sells your products
in an urban market in New Mexico?
in an urban market in New Mexico?
The New Mexico Farmer Innovation Program at Farm to Table is a project which is designed to support smaller food producers and help them gain greater capacity in the New Mexico marketplace.
We believe that one of New Mexico’s strengths lies in the intersection of those who produce food and the communities who consume it, and that this connection is vital to our economy and our health.
As part of our commitment to supporting the growth and development of this connection to land and community, we are announcing a new Micro-Grant opportunity.
If you are a farmer or rancher with a gross cash farm income of $250,000 or less per year who produces and is selling into an urban market, you may be eligible to apply, particularly if the project impacts underserved communities.
