It’s closer than you think…
Don’t wait for the next RFA to drop! Writing a Value Added Producer Grant takes substantial time, strategy, organization, and mobilization. With the new Request for Applications coming soon, make sure you know whether your project will work in this program, and how your team can be prepared to get things submitted on time and on mission.
FFI Farm Outreach Specialist Andy Larson sits down with VAPG grant experts Jim Gage of JDG Consulting and Sara Huber of Sustaining Farmers LLC to address:
- Eligibility and stage – do you and your project fit the VAPG mold?
- Thinking ahead – are there actions I can take now to get a head start?
- Foundations – do you have the necessary business and market plans in place?
- Expertise – can your team pull this off, or do you need assistance?
