More than 75 individuals interested in the new round of Maui County Agricultural Micro Grants, which offer up to $25,000, gathered in-person at Maui Economic Opportunity in Wailuku and via Zoom on Wednesday, Jan. 15.
The fifth installment of the grant, funded by the County of Maui and administered by MEO’s Business Development Center, is open to select startup and operating farms on less than 12 acres and livestock ranches up to 40 acres.
The hour-long gathering, led by BDC Director David Daly, covered the parameters of the grant and application requirements. He also answered questions from attendees.
