The DATCP is now accepting applications for the 2027 Buy Local, Buy Wisconsin Grant cycle.
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.
BLBW grants provide consumers with access to more Wisconsin-grown food products, including organic vegetables, hop varieties, hazelnut products, locally grown grain, and other value-added products.
Qualified applicants include individuals, groups, or businesses involved in Wisconsin production agriculture, food processing, food distribution, food warehousing, retail food establishments, or agricultural tourism operations.
Funded projects will need to report on increased local food sales, created and retained jobs, and new investments.
Applications can be found at DATCP.WI.gov and are due by November 4th.
