PMP Partners

To date, PMP has received financial assistance from the Golden LEAF Foundation, North Carolina Department of Agriculture (NCDA), and the Surry County Farm Bureau Board. Golden LEAF funded the recently completed up-fit to the agriculture center and awarded a second grant to PMP from its Local Foods Inititative. NCDA awarded a grant that is being utilized for equipment, supplies, and labor. The Surry County Farm Bureau Board agreed to buy PMP its initial round of equipment which includes a wash line, ice machine, and scales. Wake Forest University School of Law has provided legal services as an in-kind contribution to PMP; this assistance has been invaluable. These partners have enabled this project to continue moving forward; more funding requests are pending and those outcomes should be known in the coming weeks. Of course this project is what it is today because of the approximately 60 farmers who have agreed to market their produce through PMP.
