On Farm Grants 2025 Awardees and Awarded Projects
LSSAC’s Grant Review Committee received so many amazing applications for the On Farm Grant cycle 2025!
We received 101 applications from farms across the state, requesting a total of $2,605,290 worth of projects. Our reviewer team spent a total of over 120 hours carefully reviewing each application.
After careful consideration, our review committee granted $233,000 in awards to 31 Louisiana farms! Great care was taken to distribute the awards evenly across the many regions of Louisiana - as can be seen on the interactive map on this page!
