Wisconsin Local Food Purchase Assistance Program (WI LFPA)
LFPA25 Update
On March 7, 2025, DATCP received a letter from USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) notifying us that the Local Food Purchase Assistance 2025 Program (LFPA25) had been canceled. LFPA and LFPA Plus agreements already in place are continuing for the remainder of their grant periods, however, and according the AMS letter, expenses for those grants will still be reimbursed. Please see the updates from DATCP and the Office of the Governor.
