Program Overview

Farms are an integral part of the Glastonbury community, and the challenging weather of 2023 negatively impacted our local agriculture community.

To support our local farmers, the Town of Glastonbury established the Farm Assistance Program (FAP) 2024. This reimbursable grant program provided one-time funding support to eligible farmers to help them overcome the financial hardships resulting from 2023 weather events, and/or to invest in the long-term viability of their farm business.

The Glastonbury Town Council appropriated $220,000 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for the 2024 Farm Assistance Program (FAP). This program is consistent with the U.S. Treasury Guidelines and the Glastonbury Town Charter.

Each qualified farm was eligible to apply for a one-time grant of up to $10,000. Grants were awarded throughout 2024, with the program concluding in December 2024.
