BLBW Grants

The Buy Local, Buy Wisconsin (BLBW) competitive grant program was launched in 2008 to strengthen Wisconsin's agricultural and food industries. The grants work to reduce the marketing, distribution and processing hurdles that impede the expansion of sales of Wisconsin's food products to local purchasers.

Please check back in July 2012 for updates on the next grant cycle. Reports detailing the work of previous grant recipients are below as a reference and model for other projects.
