The Farmers Market Promotion Program (FMPP) funds projects that develop, coordinate, and expand direct producer-to-consumer markets to help increase access to and availability of locally and regionally produced agricultural products. It offers three types of grants – Capacity Building, Community Development Training and Technical Assistance, and Turnkey Marketing and Promotion – to assist farm and ranch operations.

Similar to the FMPP, the Local Food Promotion Program (LFPP) funds projects that develop, coordinate, and expand local and regional food business enterprises that engage as intermediaries in indirect producer-to-consumer marketing to help increase access to and availability of locally and regionally produced agriculture products. It offers four types of grants: Planning, Implementation, Farm to Institution, and Turnkey Marketing and Promotion.
