• The Gardening for Greenbacks is a grant program of the City of Cleveland that provides grants for equipment related to growing and selling produce.

• The Cuyahoga Valley Countryside Conservancy is another local organization that offers workshops to local farmers.  Please consult the workshop schedule available on their website.
