MONTPELIER -- Applications are being accepted for the 2025 Farm to Institution Market Development (FTIMD) Grant.

Farmers, food processors, producer associations, and supply chain facilitators (non-profits, food hubs, etc.) are invited to apply for projects that will increase sales for at least one local farm, and increase the amount of local food served at Vermont institutions, including schools, early childhood programs, hospitals, colleges, and correctional facilities.

Awards will range from $10,000 to $30,000, with a 25 percent match requirement. The application closes on Dec. 31 at 1:5
