In its 2026 grant round, The FruitGuys Community Fund awarded grants totaling $65,000 to sixteen farms across fourteen states. Each recipient farm will use its funds for a sustainability project designed to create a lasting, positive impact on the land. This year the fund reached a milestone by supporting farms in Delaware, Alabama, and Arkansas for the first time. “The 2026 class of grantees marks our fourteenth year of grantmaking, powerfully representing the critical role small-scale farms play in a diverse food system rooted in regenerating the planet and positively impacting communities,” said Sheila Cassani, project director and head of impact at The FruitGuys. A list of recipients and brief descriptions of their funded projects are available online.
