The NW and Rocky Mountain Regional Food Business Center team is offering grants between $3,000 and $50,000. The purpose of this competitive grant program is to expand the capacity of meat, seafood and poultry businesses that provide important services to small or mid-scale meat and/or poultry producers and brands.

• meat brands or cooperatives that source from multiple meat producers
• processors doing further processing for multiple producers
• processors serving a geographic/demographic need
• cold storage facilities and local/regional distributors
• retail meat shops
