To advance farm-to-school projects statewide, CDFA’s Office of Farm to Fork announced it is accepting applications for up to $52.8 million in grant funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deadline to apply for the 2023-24 California Farm to School Incubator Grant Program is April 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through a competitive grant process, funds are available through multiple funding tracks: Track 1, the California Farm to School TK-12 Procurement and Education Grant; Track 2, the California Farm to School Technical Assistance Grant; Track 3, the California Farm to Early Care and Education Grant; and Track 4, the California Farm to School Producer Grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amount of funds awarded depends on the number of applications received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The California Farm to School Producer Grant is for food producers and public-serving distribution enterprises to sell California-grown or produced foods to the state\u2019s school food market. Farmers are encouraged to apply for producer grant funding for the program, which helps build economic connections between farms and schools while enhancing healthy food offerings for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur Farm to School Incubator Grant Program offers a triple bottom-line win for farmers, local economies and kids,\u201d CDFA Secretary Karen Ross said in a statement. \u201cFarmers win in developing lasting relationships with local schools and students, local economies win in school food procurement dollars staying closer to home, and kids win through gaining the nutrition of California-grown or -produced food.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be eligible for program grants, applicants must show evidence of an established relationship with each California School Food Authority or childcare center operator of the Child and Adult Care Food Program to which they intend to sell food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant funding prioritizes small to mid-sized food producers, military veterans and socially disadvantaged or limited-resource food producers. The program also focuses on producers using climate-smart agriculture practices and systems including certified organic or transitioning to certified organic, or other regenerative approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGrath Family Farmers Inc. in Ventura County, a past grant recipient, said in a statement that the farm \u201cfeels strongly about providing healthy, nutrient-dense organic food for our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe feel very happy the schools are highlighted for this cause and are thrilled to be a part of this program and to contribute,\u201d the statement noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CDFA Office of Farm to Fork received funding through the California Budget Acts of 2020, 2021 and 2022 to establish and continue the California Farm to School Incubator Grant Program. The program awarded $8.5 million to 60 farm-to-school projects in 2021 and $25.5 million to 120 projects in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CDFA Farm to School Program staff is conducting weekly Zoom sessions about the grant program request for applications. People may register for the Zoom sessions via the links under \u201cGrant Info Sessions & Weekly Q&A Sessions\u201d at www.cdfa.ca.gov\/caf2sgrant\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
