As part of an effort to combat food insecurity, the governor’s office announced $26.3 million in grants for farmers and nonprofits across the state on July 20. 

In Dartmouth, three local farms are receiving funds. Flying Carrot Farm on Elm Street will get $60,276, Copicut Farms in North Dartmouth will get $120,000 and Round the Bend Farm in South Dartmouth will get $84,208. 

These grants are meant to improve the infrastructure of the farms and their ability to produce food for the local community, and to help mitigate future supply chain problems.
