Montgomery County's Office of Food Systems Resilience has launched the FY26 Food Aggregation Grant Program, offering $550,000 in first-year funding — including $300,000 in state MARBIDCO funds — to establish a local food aggregation facility. The facility would pool products from small regional farms to meet large-volume purchasing requirements of institutional buyers such as schools, hospitals, and senior centers. Total anticipated funding over the four-year grant period (June 30, 2026–June 30, 2030) is up to $1.6 million.
