SUMMARY:USDA Grant Programs - Infosession and Farmer Q&A
DESCRIPTION:USDA Grant Programs can be very useful for farms\, yet the application process and knowing when the right time to apply can be daunting. Join the North Olympic Development Council and WSU Extension Regional Small Farms Program as we lead a discussion about upcoming USDA Grant Program applications and how each program may work for your farm. We will also have a Q&A session with a local farm who has successfully applied for and received USDA funding on their farm. Farmers will share their lessons learned for farmers considering applying. \nGuest speakers include Carlotta Donisi with USDA Rural Development and Ryan McCarthey from Dungeness Valley Creamery. \nThis free webinar is made possible by funding from USDA Rural Development and will be recorded for farmers to watch at a later date. \n  \nRegister in advance for this webinar is required: \nhttps://wsu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_wUb-4SXpRcO9Tx0ezl5V2Q \n  \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
