The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) is accepting applications for the Wisconsin Farm to School Grant Program through 5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 2nd.
DATCP will award a total of up to $250,000 in Farm to School grants. This one-time federal funding has been provided with the purpose of expanding or creating new farm-to-school activities.
The goal of the Wisconsin Farm-to-School Grant Program is to enable communities to develop partnerships, implement initiatives, and strengthen Wisconsin’s farm-to-school network.
Successful projects will gather impact and outcome data, measure grant program demand, and capture success stories for ongoing support and funding.
Funds are not intended to provide one-time funding for farm-to-school meals. An informational webinar on the Farm to School grant will be hosted by DATCP at 1:00 p.m. on January 11th.
Registration is required and can be done online at datcp.wi.gov.
