Sustaining Farmers is an agricultural consulting team, providing direct services to farmers and specializing in writing high-value USDA Value-Added Producer Grants (VAPGs).

We help agricultural organizations grow with confidence by providing trusted resources for grants, funding and strategic initiatives. It all starts with a connection!

We bring a real-world understanding to our work, not only helping partners secure funding but thinking through the implications that funding might have on their staff, programs, and priorities moving forward.

We provide a complete solution from initial planning to administrative award management tasks. No prior knowledge of grants or grant writing is required from you; our resources and staff allow us to handle all aspects of the VAPG.
