Learn how to access funding for raised garden beds for your farm or garden during this workshop with USDA staff from NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service) and FSA (Farm Service Agency). You will also hear firsthand from Latanya Ingraham, an urban grower in Lansdowne, PA who has installed raised beds through NRCS’s EQIP program (Environmental Quality Incentives Program). NRCS staff will explain how they work with growers to conserve natural resources through a program like EQIP; and FSA staff will explain how they work with growers to set up the necessary farm records to apply for a program like EQIP.
