Grants for Farmers Workshop
Did you know that there are several grant opportunities available just for farmers? Grant writing can be daunting, but the potential benefits to your business are well worth the effort. Join Pierce County Fresh for a workshop designed to teach you the basics of great grant writing and to provide information about specific grants available to farmers including the USDA Value Added Producer Grant and the Washington State Organic and Sustainable Farming Fund.
Presenters include:
