Summary: The Wolfe’s Neck Center Northeast Farmers Fund is designed to support market access for regenerative products for farmers across the region. By catalyzing Northeast farmers’ access to market opportunities for regenerative products, the Northeast Farmers Fund will increase the economic viability of farms and preserve working lands while building resilience to climate impacts across the region.

• Equipment, infrastructure and tools to expand scale and diversity of products
• Certification and verification
• Post-harvest handling and value-added processing
• Marketing, branding, packaging and distribution improvements that help farms access new or higher-value markets.
