Women's Farming Grant In WI #382449
Asked January 19, 2017, 11:22 AM EST
Hi there, I am wondering if you would know about women getting farm grants in WI? I have a small farm right now with my family, we moved out to the country from the city almost 2 years ago and currently have 2 goats and 8 chickens, but we would like to do more. I tired googling this, but didn't come up with much and I am hoping for some help.
Thank you for your time,
Jen
