Project Overview

Over the course of the grant time frame, the project served 357 unduplicated beginning and disadvantaged farmers (including those reached through Zoom workshop recordings) through project activities. Collected data during the grant time frame indicates that the project (although some activities modified due to COVID-19) met all project objectives. Over time, the scaling up of this program is projected to increase access to fresh, locally sourced produce among both growers and the community at large, while minimizing poverty.
