XHO123 FUNDING FOOD
Tuition $45.00
FINDING MONEY TO SUPPORT YOUR VISION
Various funding entities can provide monetary support and other resources to bring your vision
to life, whether it be community gardens to farms. From federal programs within the Farm Bill
to state-specific options, a range of grants exists to support small, beginning farm ventures,
as well as mini-grants that include everything from community gardens to school gardens. The
key to a successful grant application is the same as a business plan: researching and writing
out a strategic blueprint for your vision and the steps to successfully get there. This course
will explore several of the options available for grant funding through local, state, and national
platforms, in addition to instruction on writing a sample proposal. This course is meant for
grants related to the Farm Bill. It will give you the skill set to explore grant writing. (1 meeting)

XHO122 POWER TO THE POLLINATORS!
Tuition $45.00
Introduce yourself to Long Island’s pollinators including bumble bees, leafcutter bees, mason
bees, squash bees, and even flies! There are close to 450 different bee species in New York
State – these are the superheroes of our gardens and farms. Wild bees are 2-3 times more
effective at pollinating than honeybees. Honeybees supplement the work of wild bees, not the
other way around. Join our veteran beekeeper to discuss why and specifically which gentle
pollinators will be most advantageous for higher yields and larger, more well-rounded produce.
Specific actions you can take to put more food on your table and support bee populations
(e.g., flowers to plant, types of habitat to provide, and advanced bee ranching efforts) will be
discussed. You will be provided with a bee bundle kit for the course. (1 meeting)
