Producer Grants
In June 2024, the Upper Willamette Soil & Water Conservation District (UWSWCD) offered grants to support on-farm improvements and conservation practices while building a stronger network of local food resources to alleviate food insecurity in Lane County.
This grant opportunity was available to agricultural producers located in Lane County, who grow or raise food primarily for local markets. Priority was given to historically underserved producers, including limited resource, beginning, socially disadvantaged, or veteran farmers or ranchers.
The primary goals of this funding opportunity were to:
Provide producers with financial resources to improve the efficiency and productivity of their operations;
Promote practices that increase soil health and water quality; and
Increase the diversity and volume of locally grown and harvested food products for residents experiencing food insecurity.
Our 2025 grant opportunities will be advertised on this web page in late 2024 or early 2025
