June 16, 2021

PCC submitted a letter of support for the Bellingham-based Eat Local First (ELF) Collaborative in their application for grant funding from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to develop an online wholesale infrastructure for Washington farms and producers.

It was announced in 2022 that ELF received a USDA Farmers Market Promotion Program (FMPP) grant to support creation of online wholesale marketing infrastructure to increase equitable market access, digital proficiency, and sales for small to midsize farms and producers in Washington state.
