AFID INFRASTRUCTURE GRANTS

The AFID Infrastructure Program is focused on awarding reimbursable grants primarily for capital projects at new and existing food hubs, farmers’ markets, commercial kitchens and other value-added facilities such as those used for processing and packaging meats, dairy products, produce, or other Virginia agricultural products. Small farmers, food producers, local food systems advocates and others interested in building their community’s local food and farming infrastructure are encouraged to learn more about the program and work with their localities to identify and develop suitable projects.

2025 Grant Round

The Fall 2025 AFID Infrastructure Grant Round is expected to open in September or October. Please continue to check back for exact dates. For more information on eligibility requirements and details on grant administration, please review the guidelines posted below.
