NOFA-NH is pleased to invite NH farmers to apply for our 2026 Farmer Resilience Fund mini-grants! Building on two successful rounds of this grant program, NOFA-NH has received a donation from Stonyfield Organic and many individual donors to launch this pro-active fund to provide mini-grants to help organic and transitioning-to-organic farmers build resilience to mitigate the effects of climate change.   

These mini-grants can pay for expenses associated with implementing healthy soil and on-farm practices to build climate resilience, including but not limited to: new supplies and equipment, soil tests, insect prevention measures, cost share for organic NRCS practices, etc. Mini-grants can also fund new and innovative projects that leverage organic practices to build on-farm climate resilience.  

The fund supports small-scale certified organic farmers with a gross income of less than $25,000 in 2024 seeking reimbursement for some of their 2025 organic certification fees. Maximum award is $250.

The Farmer Resilience Fund also supports any NH farms in need of emergency/disaster relief (examples: crop or livestock losses, freeze, flooding, fire, or other damages). Any NH farmer can apply for a mini-grant to help with losses they have experienced, or expenses associated with repairing environmental, land, building and/or equipment damage.
