Read About This Year’s Vendor Rebuild Grant

July 22, 2021


To Our Market Community,

This year the BFM was proud to offer our vendors the opportunity to apply for our Vendor Rebuild Grant. Made possible by a generous donation from the Tualatin Soil and Water Conservation District, this program was meant to assist awardees with rebuilding their business to face the challenges of the post pandemic world. You can read more about the ways TSWCD has helped our local community and other farmers markets through the pandemic here.

The grant funds were awarded to vendors who best articulated and demonstrated their plans for developing new and creative practices to help them emerge from the pandemic stronger and with a plan for the future. These creative ideas may take the form of new product delivery methods, such as setting up pre-ordering systems, or developing or growing new products, or different marketing strategies.
