Product Database (Metals) Insects: Hornet, Beetle, Moth, Maggot Pesticide Licensing and Recertification WSDA Local Food System Infrastructure Grant Lea esta página en español The purpose of the Local Food System Infrastructure Grant program is to support local food supply chains and market access for Washington farms, ranches, food processors, and food distributors.
The grant funds projects that expand and strengthen collaboration across linkages in regional food supply chains in Washington. This includes equipment and facilities for post-harvest handling (including slaughter), aggregation, processing, manufacturing, storing, distribution, or sale of Washington grown, caught, and raised food.
Investments that strengthen linkages along the food supply chain create new opportunities for farms and food businesses to market Washington grown foods to people in Washington. Expanding market access allows farms and food businesses to remain engines for innovation, growth, and sustainability in Washington’s vibrant local food economy.
Click for List of Grant Recipients Grant Categories and Timelines - Updated 1/28/2026 WSDA based the two grant categories, funding amounts, and project timelines on funding levels for the Local Food System Infrastructure Grant included in the two-year Biennial State Operating Budget (BN25-27), which was approved by the state legislature and signed by Governor Ferguson in May 2025.
The biennial budget includes state fiscal year 2026 (July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026) and state fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027). Washington State is currently in the process of developing the Supplemental Operating Budget for fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027).
The Governor’s Proposed Fiscal Year 2027 Supplemental Operating Budget includes a proposed reduction of at least $2 million in funding for the Local Food System Infrastructure Grant. The Washington State Legislature is in session now to develop and pass a final supplemental budget.
Due to uncertainty about funding for the Local Food System Infrastructure Grant in fiscal year 2027, WSDA has made adjustments to the grant process, as of January 28, 2026. The table below is updated to reflect these changes. The process changes will allow WSDA to fund as many Equipment Plus projects as possible with funds available in the current 2026 fiscal year.
The timeline for Large Project Awards is slightly delayed. WSDA may make additional adjustments to the grant process depending upon the amount of funding that is ultimately included in the final fiscal year 2027 Supplemental Operating budget. Any future updates will be posted here.
Equipment purchases that address a specific local food system infrastructure gap or barrier to local market access for a Washington farm, ranch, or food business. May include minor facility improvements that make equipment useable, such as electrical outlets, sink installation, or floor resurfacing.
Facility projects that improve local food supply chains and local market access for many Washington farms, ranches, food processors, or food distributors. May include major facility improvements, such as ground disturbance, new utility services, or structural work.
