Small-Scale Farm Grant Program

The Kentucky State University (KYSU) Center for the Sustainability of Farms and Families (CSFF) works to develop resources to provide assistance to small-scale farms. In partnership with the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund (KADF) and the Kentucky Agricultural Development Board (KADB), KYSU is able to provide these grants. This program helps farmers who want to improve their farming operations, improve the marketability of their products with value-added enterprise, and further their farming and agricultural knowledge through educational trainings. There are three programs: Small-Scale Farm Grant (with categories Value-Added Enterprise, Certified Organic Agriculture, Agroforestry/Specialty Crops, Food Systems Resiliency, and Emerging Agricultural Technologies), Beginning Beekeeper Program, and Farmer Education Program.
