The Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society is accepting applications for its farmer and homesteader grant program.

Grants will support Island farmers and local backyard growers dedicated to improving the quality of life and furthering the sustainability of local agriculture. Special consideration will be given to innovative approaches to problems or needs that cannot receive funding through traditional sources. Applicants must be a member of the Agricultural Society.

Applications are due Feb. 12. More information is available on the Agricultural Society’s website at marthasvineyardagriculturalsociety.org.
