Providence Farm Collective has gratefully accepted a $1,500 Farm Credit Northeast AgEnhancement Grant to support agriculture education efforts at Providence Farm Collective. Farm Credit Northeast AgEnhancement supports programs, project and events that are intended to strengthen agriculture, commercial fishing and the forest products sector in the Northeast. This program is a combined effort of Farm Credit East, Yankee Farm Credit and CoBank.
The funding will go towards supporting agricultural workshops and educational supplies. Providence Farm Collective offers all of its farmers the opportunity to take part in classroom and field based workshops designed to give farmers an introduction to crop production and small scale farming techniques in WNY.
