Excerpt:
The Maryland Department of Agriculture is excited to launch a new grant program designed to support the growth and development of urban farms and community gardens. This initiative aims to enhance community access to fresh, healthy produce grown using environmentally sustainable farming practices.
“Urban farms and community gardens are transforming neighborhoods by bringing fresh, locally grown food directly to the communities they serve,” said Maryland Secretary of Agriculture Kevin Atticks. “This program invests in the innovation and dedication of urban growers, providing resources that meet their unique needs while expanding access to healthy, nutritious food for Marylanders — no matter where they live.”
The Urban Agriculture Grant Program supports both urban farms and community gardens, whether they are startups or existing operations looking to expand. Our grants cover a variety of areas and needs, including:
Capital Improvements—Funding for infrastructure such as refrigerated or dry storage, wash-and-pack stations, fencing, low tunnels and more.
Sustainable Practices—Adoption of safe, environmentally sustainable practices, including the creation of pollinator habitat, obtaining certification in the use of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), installing composting units and nutrient management planning.
Innovative Farming Solutions—Investing in rooftop gardens and controlled environment agriculture.
Education—Programs that focus on composting, soil health, and sustainable farming practices.
Real Property—The purchase of real property in an urban area. (This option is capped at 20% of the grant award.)
Operating Expenses—Covers certain operating expenses. (Capped at 15% of the grant award)
