FARM GRANTS

Through program funds, Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) is proud to offer farmland improvement grants for therapeutic farms through the At-Ease program.

A "therapeutic farm" is any farm or property that has the capacity and is willing to allow veterans to participate in agricultural activities.

To qualify for this grant, you must be:

1) located in Alabama
2) a farm or land owner who is willing to allow veterans to use land for therapeutic farming or
3) a veteran who owns land and is getting started in agriculture, (also must be willing to be a therapeutic farm) or
4) a non-profit organization serving veterans.

Projects may include but are not limited to:
hoop houses, fencing, bee keeping equipment, ponds, hydroponics, seeds/plants/saplings, soil preparation and conditioning, start-up livestock and poultry, etc.

Grant awards will be $3,000 - $5,000 per project.

Projects must be able to be completed by August 1st, 2023

All grants are on a reimbursement basis, meaning that RC&D will reimburse you for the amount of the grant after you make the purchases and provide proof of payment.
