Colorado Farm & Food Systems Respond & Rebuild Fund
DEADLINE IS MAY 4th!
FUNDING FOR PRODUCERS: #COVID19 has upended the livelihoods of farmers, ranchers and others in the #Colorado food system. Restaurants, schools and other longtime buyers are buying far less, leaving our state’s producers with valuable, often perishable products with nowhere to go. That food, grown with care, isn’t making it to our tables.
If you’re a Colorado producer, producer group or intermediary that works directly with producers struggling to adapt fast as a result of COVID, you can apply now for up to $25,000 in grant funding here, round 1 closes May 4th:
