[Aqua-ohio] webinar about the Value-Added Producer grant

[Wright, Nicole]

Hi All,
See below for information about a webinar discussing how to prepare for writing a Value-added Producer grant<https://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-services/business-programs/value-added-producer-grants>, a program through USDA Rural Development. If you want to talk through any ideas I'd be happy to discuss, just send me an email wright.1128 at osu.edu<mailto:wright.1128 at osu.edu>.

Preparing to Apply for the Next Round of Value-Added Producer Grants
Monday, November 8, 2021 | 10am - 11:30am Central Time | FREE Registration<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.edible-alpha.org/event/preparing-for-2022-vapg/__;!!KGKeukY!gqIZiwFMI4hUsNGO2diGehzwRriTVkds8vOYwPVLzo6ktsCrFiOhVvsIvz72quNGiUoA$>

Don't wait for the next Request for Applications (RFA) to drop! Writing a Value-Added Producer Grant takes substantial time, strategy, organization, and mobilization. With the new RFA coming soon, make sure you know whether your project will work in this program, and how your team can be prepared to get things submitted on time and on mission.

Join FFI Farm Outreach Specialist Andy Larson for a discussion with VAPG grant experts Jim Gage of JDG Consulting and Sara Huber of Sustaining Farmers LLC to address:


  *   Eligibility and stage - do you and your project fit the VAPG mold?
  *   Thinking ahead - are there actions I can take now to get a head start?
  *   Foundations - do you have the necessary business and market plans in place?
  *   Expertise - can your team pull this off, or do you need assistance?
