Regenerate Ohio Farms Grant
Through a partnership with Healing Soils Foundation, we are proud to launch the Regenerate Ohio Farms Grant (ROFG). The ROFG is targeted to farmers throughout Ohio - offering up to $15,000 in emergency funding to farmers facing delayed or cancelled reimbursements. Encourage Ohio farmers in your network to apply.
Whether it is infrastructure for grazing systems, the preservation of perennial cropping projects, or food access programs rooted in soil health, Regenerate Ohio Farms is a proof point for what’s possible when funders, nonprofits, and farmers work together.
