A farm in Manitowoc is one of ten throughout the state to be named a recipient of a DATCP Buy Local, Buy Wisconsin Grant.
The Sullivan Family Farm, located at 7725 County Road R in Manitowoc, is getting a portion of the $200,000 to help increase production with season extension infrastructure and expand into new wholesale markets.
BLBW is a competitive grant program designed to strengthen Wisconsin’s agriculture and food industries by helping farms and businesses more efficiently process, market, and distribute locally grown food products.
DATCP Secretary Randy Romanski said of the program, “These grants play an important role in strengthening the tie between Wisconsin’s food producers and consumers, thus ensuring more Wisconsinites can gain access to local foods.”
