IN PROJECT GRANTS

Since beginning the farm in 2014, Root Down Farm has worked closely with the NRCS and has been awarded around $47,000 in project grants to improve the farm’s impact on the surrounding ecosystem and watershed. These projects, including off-season water storage, improved water infrastructure efficiency, cross fencing, and native tree planting have also increased the productivity and resilience of the farm.
