NC Specialty Crop Block Grant Program
The NC Specialty Crop Block Grant Program, administered by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, provides annual grant funding from the USDA to enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops in the marketplace. This initiative supports projects related to fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, culinary herbs and spices, medicinal plants, nursery and floriculture, and horticulture crops through competitive grant requests from eligible nonprofit organizations, commodity associations, and government agencies.
Individuals and businesses, including farms, are not eligible for application under this program, ensuring that funding is directed towards larger projects that can impact the specialty crop sector as a whole. The program plays a vital role in promoting sustainable agricultural practices and advancing the specialty crop industry in North Carolina.
