The Oregon Community Food Systems Network (OCFSN) has just launched Round Two of the Farmer & Rancher Disaster Resilience Grant Program. It will help Oregon’s small farms to be more resilient to climate disasters.
In 2024, Round One of this Grant Program awarded $1.6 million to 114 small farms and ranches across Oregon.
In Round Two, $900,000 is available for grants to farmer and rancher applicants who were not awarded in Round One or who have not previously applied.
