Micro-grants to bring
farmers together.

Offa micro-grants support activities that help farmers connect and build stronger farming networks.

The Offa Micro-Grant Programme offers grants of up to £500 to support practical, farmer-led initiatives that benefit the wider farming community. Whether you want to host a farm walk, run a soil health workshop, organise a local farm safety event or bring farmers together to share knowledge, it funds the kind of grassroots activity that makes farming stronger. Grants can cover both capital and revenue costs, keeping applications flexible and accessible, and are well suited to projects aligned with SFI, regenerative farming and knowledge sharing.
