Finding Funding
There are some state and federal loan programs specifically designed to help farmers transitioning to organic production. There are also private businesses and organizations offering grants and assistance. Some states are far more active in this area than others. New programs arise, and old programs are discontinued. There is also a wide range of funding programs for new farmers. We've collected links to information about those funding and grant programs that seem to be stable and long lasting, but you may have to contact local agencies and nonprofits to get information about what's currently available in your local area. The resources in this area are divided into funding sources for transitioning farmers, and funding sources for new farmers.
