We understand that farm and land infrastructure is a key area of support to helping farmers scale production and helping land stewards stay rooted on land. Farm & land infrastructure needs could include, but not limited to: dry or cooling storage for crops, fencing, tractor repair, repairing farm housing, expanding or adding utilities, a specialized tool for farm production.

PCF resources farmers up to $10,000 (unrestricted) for on-farm needs.

This grant prioritizes projects that demonstrate values around the importance of:

• Land and food justice

• Deep relationships within agrarian work

• Collective work and collective harvest integrated into community care

• Honoring heritage and cultural practices, and 

• Farm and land based operations as part of a broader food systems strategy

Funding priority is given to projects that focus on regenerative agriculture or agro-ecology, collective and cooperative agricultural organizing and practices, agrarian cultural practices and traditions, or intergenerational farming communities (working in some capacity across generations).

Eligibility:

• Farmer of color working in North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, and Virginia
