Specialty Crop

Offers grants up to $10,000 to support local agriculture. The goal of the program is to increase the amount of good, clean, and fair food in the community by helping those who produce it. The manager of the program, Slow Food in the Tetons, describes ‘good’ as flavorful and healthy food, ‘clean’ as production practices that do not harm the environment, and ‘fair’ as accessible prices for consumers, and fair conditions and pay for producers.

Eligible recipients are local food producers (those who live within 100 miles of Jackson) and regional food producers (those who live within 250 miles). Grant funds are raised by Slow Food in the Tetons and matched by the Teton Conservation District. Preference is given to producers who participate in Slow Food in the Tetons programming (see listings above).
