Farmers Resilience Grant Program
The Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op and California FarmLink have partnered to create the Farmers Resilience Fund, a grant program intended to support small farmers and ranchers aiming to bolster their agricultural enterprises.
This program targets specific areas:
- Enhancing farm sustainability through infrastructure or equipment, emphasizing regenerative practices, soil enrichment (carbon farming), improved irrigation efficiency, and initial organic certification.
- Strengthening business resilience by offering professional services such as accounting system setup or enhancement through bookkeepers, financial planning guidance, and legal counsel on business structure, succession planning, or other pertinent topics vital for advancement.
