Grant: Lakewinds Coop Organic Field Fund

Topics: Farm Business : Funding
Minnesota-based co-op supporting the local farming community. As part of this mission, the Lakewinds Organic Field Fund (LOFF) grant program was created in 2011. As the impact on local farms became clear and number of Lakewinds shoppers and owners grew, in 2015 the decision was made to increase both the number of grants funded and the amount of money dedicated to the program. Since the LOFF program’s inception, Lakewinds has now given over $1 million in grants to more than 100 farmers.
