New England Farmer Microgrants Program

The New England Farmer Microgrants Program

Five Years of Direct Support to Farmers in New England

Launched in 2020, AFT’s New England Farmer Microgrants Program (NEFMP) provided direct financial support to farmers across New England. The program was developed to address key barriers faced by New England farmers: access to land, farm succession and land transfer planning, and adopting regenerative agriculture or soil health practices on livestock operations.

NEFMP has awarded just over $2 million to 351 farmers across New England and is 100% donor funded. 

June 2024 Update:
AFT has recently centralized and rebranded our grantmaking. Our New England Farmer Microgrants Program will now be administered under AFT’s larger grantmaking umbrella, the Brighter Future Fund (“BFF”).
