Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program

The Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program (FMLFPP) is a component of the Local Agriculture Market Program (LAMP). FMLFPP supports the development, coordination and expansion of local and regional food systems through two competitive grant programs: (1) Farmers Market Promotion Program (FMPP) and (2) Local Food Promotion Program (LFPP). FMPP grants fund direct producer-to-consumer marketing projects such as farmers markets, community-supported agriculture programs (CSA), roadside stands, and agritourism. FMPP accepts Capacity Building, Community Development, Training, and Technical Assistance, Turnkey Marketing and Promotion, and Turnkey Recruitment and Training grant project types to support domestic direct producer-to-consumer marketing channels. LFPP grants fund local and regional food business enterprises that serve as intermediaries to process, distribute, aggregate, and store locally or regionally produced food products. LFPP accepts Planning, Implementation, Turnkey Marketing and Promotion, and Turnkey Recruitment and Training grant project types to support local and regional food businesses.
