Local farmers have a new opportunity to secure funding aimed at strengthening the region’s food supply. The 2026 Good Farm Fund Farm Grant Program is now accepting applications from small and mid-sized farms in Mendocino and Lake counties, with awards ranging from a few thousand dollars up to $10,000 for collaborative efforts. The goal is to expand local food production and improve access to affordable food, especially in underserved areas. Applications are due March 20, and growers can find full details and eligibility requirements online.
