About this event
The Leonard-Mobley Small Farms Fund is seeking small North Carolina farmers in Franklin, Nash, Chatham, Person, Granville, Halifax, Durham, Wake, Wilson, Vance, and Warren Counties, including women in agriculture, to apply for a $5,000 grant to assist with projects such as development or expansion of new sources of agricultural income on their farm. Grant applications are due June 1st by 5:00 p.m. The grant will be awarded Sunday, September 11, 2022, at the 7th Annual “Dinner in the Meadow” farm-to-fork feast held at Meadow Lane Farm near Louisburg. The dinner showcases local foods prepared by twelve North Carolina chefs. For additional information, please contact Dr. Francesco Tiezzi or Tammy Manning at email, lmsmallfarmfund@gmail.com. More information on the grant and the dinner can be found online at www.DinnerintheMeadow.org.
The Leonard-Mobley Small Farm Fund was set up in memory of two farm family members, Marjorie Leonard and Jerry Stephen Mobley, with proceeds from the dinner and silent auction benefitting the fund. The Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and $85 of the ticket for the dinner is tax deductible.
Tickets are non-refundable. Should the event be cancelled due to inclement weather or other factors beyond our control, the Dinner in the Meadow grant will be awarded to the selected small farmer.
