Description
The Farmers Market Promotion Program (FMPP) provides competitive grants to support the development, coordination, and expansion of direct producer-to-consumer markets. The program aims to increase access to and availability of locally and regionally produced agricultural products, strengthen local food systems, and support value-added product development and food safety improvements. Eligible projects may include farmers markets, roadside stands, community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs, agritourism, and online sales platforms, as well as marketing, recruitment, and training activities.
FMPP is part of the USDA’s Local Agriculture Market Program (LAMP) and is administered by the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS). The program offers four distinct project types, each with specific funding ranges and durations.
