Receive a personalized planning engagement with grant writers, Stewards Unlimited, designed to help farms, food businesses, and agricultural organizations identify where they want to grow—and connect them with the funding and resources needed to get there.

Over the course of one month, we’ll meet four times to clarify your long-term goals, discuss growth priorities, and identify the projects, investments, and milestones that will have the greatest impact on your business.

Following our discussions, Stewards Unlimited will research funding opportunities from federal, state, local, private foundation, and corporate sources that align with your vision. We’ll also identify non-financial resources that can accelerate your progress, including technical assistance providers, educational programs, business advisors, lending partners, networking opportunities, and other organizations that can help you navigate your next steps.

What’s Included

  • Four one-on-one planning sessions over one month
  • Future vision and strategic growth planning
  • Identification of major business priorities and investments
  • Customized funding opportunity research
  • Curated resource guide featuring technical assistance providers, educational programs, advisors, and strategic networking opportunities
  • Written Strategic Growth Roadmap with recommended next steps

Whether you’re considering new infrastructure, expanding production, launching a value-added product, or simply planning your next chapter, you’ll leave with a clear roadmap—not only for funding your vision, but also for identifying the people, programs, and partnerships that can help turn it into reality.
