The AFID Infrastructure Program is focused on awarding reimbursable grants primarily for
capital projects at new and existing food hubs, farmers’ markets, commercial kitchens
and other value-added facilities such as those used for processing and packaging meats,
dairy products, produce, or other Virginia agricultural products. Small farmers, food
producers, local food systems advocates and others interested in building their
community’s local food and farming infrastructure are encouraged to learn more about the
program and work with their localities to identify and develop suitable projects.
The Spring 2025 AFID Infrastructure Grant Round will be open April 1 through April 30. For more information on eligibility requirements and details on grant administration, please review the guidelines posted below.
