Working with many types of farms…
ranging in size from small to large-scale operations and cooperatives. Many farms I’ve worked with implement sustainable farming practices; some focus on local marketing, and others have national sales.
Past VAPG successes include projects designed with farmers who produce
vegetables, fruits, herbs
cheese, yogurt, ice cream
beef, pork, chicken, goat meat, eggs
pizza, soup, sandwiches, prepared foods
maple syrup
and more
New for 2027…
As the VAPG program changes, I’m offering updated consulting services for FY2027.
I will be working exclusively with farms that want support with their own VAPG applications in the Simplified Application category, requesting $50,000 or less in grant funds.
To apply for the VAPG, a farm should have an established business, market expansion plans or new products, and time to devote to the writing process.
