The AgOptions grant serves WNC agricultural producers with small-farm grants to help with innovative projects on farms. The 2023/2024 cycle has not opened quite yet, but they have scheduled information sessions across the region to go over the program and timeline and to answer any producer questions. Learn more about the information sessions on their WNC AgOptions website
