Home Food Production Microgrant
The Home Food Production Microgrant provides $250 for residents to grow or raise their own food. Funds can be used to buy supplies or access education opportunities for starting, continuing, or expanding a food garden or other home food production project such as hoop houses, backyard chickens, composting, fruit tree maintenance, or beekeeping.
