STAKEHOLDER ANNOUNCEMENT

USDA Offers Grants for Programs to Create High-Wage Jobs and New 

Businesses in Underserved Rural Communities

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2, 2024 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) today announced that USDA is 

accepting grant applications for community-driven programs that will help create high-wage jobs and new 

businesses in underserved rural communities.

The Rural Innovation Stronger Economy (RISE) program encourages regional, innovation-driven approaches to 

economic development by funding job accelerator partnerships in low-income and underserved rural 

communities.

For fiscal year 2024, the program is making approximately $2 million available to partnerships of local 

governments, investors, industry, institutions of higher education, and other public and private entities in rural 

areas. The funding may be used to support innovation centers and job accelerator programs that improve the 

ability of distressed rural communities to create high-wage jobs, form new businesses, and identify and 

maximize local assets.

USDA encourages applications that serve the smallest communities with the lowest incomes. USDA is 

particularly interested in applications that will advance Biden-Harris Administration priorities to:

• Reduce climate pollution and increase resilience to the impacts of climate change through economic 

support to rural communities. 

• Ensure all rural residents have equitable access to Rural Development (RD) programs and benefits from 

RD-funded projects; and 

• Help rural communities recover economically through more and better market opportunities and through 

improved infrastructure.

The deadline to submit applications is 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, April 1, 2024. Applications must be submitted 

through Grants.gov. Potential applicants may submit a concept proposal for review by the agency to Grants.gov 

no later than 4:30 p.m. local time Feb. 1, 2024.

The minimum award amount per grant is $500,000. The maximum award amount per grant is $2 million.

For additional information, see page 43 of the Jan. 2, 2024, Federal Register.

Applicants are encouraged to contact their nearest USDA Rural Development State Office ahead of the 

application deadline for more information about the program or the application process. 

USDA Rural Development provides loans and grants to help expand economic opportunities and create jobs in 

rural areas. This assistance supports infrastructure improvements; business development; housing; community 

facilities such as schools, public safety and health care; and high-speed internet access in rural areas. For more 

information, visit www.rd.usda.gov.

# Family Roots Run Deep Growing Aquaponic Produce in Montana

Copied to clipboard

02.14.2024

Dinner plates in Billings, Montana, will have more leafy greens thanks to a family-owned farm and grant from USDA Rural Development.

Taking its name from family and honoring its deep Montana history, Swanky Roots is a year-round aquaponics greenhouse specializing in organically grown mixed lettuce, produce, vegetables, and herbs which they sell to consumers, local restaurants, and retailers in southeastern Montana.

"Everyone loves lettuce, and there is so much need for more produce in town,” said Swanky Roots' owner Veronnaka Evenson.

The business began in 2017 with the construction of a greenhouse resulting from Veronnaka’s desire to provide healthy food for her community. The business began in earnest a year later; first growing lettuce in the aquaponic greenhouse and then expanding to an outdoor garden where she could grow additional herbs and vegetables like carrots, beets, and cucumbers.

The business truly is a family affair. Veronnaka gets a huge boost from her mom, Ronna, who, “does the work of 100 people.” Ronna originally started inside the greenhouse, but now runs the outdoor garden, drawing on her own family heritage of farming to keep things growing.

Swanky Roots practices environmentally friendly and sustainable farming by operating a closed loop cycle to grow and fertilize its lettuce. They raise koi fish on site. The koi produce waste, which is converted to fertilizer for the plants. The plants then filter the water and absorb the nutrients, returning clean water to the fish and starting the cycle all over again.

In 2020 Veronnaka connected with USDA Rural Development to apply for a Value-Added Producer Grant (VAPG) so she could grow her business by increasing marketing, packaging, and distribution.

“Funding helped the business expand into local grocery stores, so I don’t know where we’d be today without the grant,” said Veronnaka. “USDA staff got us to the finish line, and working with them was a good experience.”

Now, in addition to running its own retail store – connected directly to the greenhouse – Swanky Roots’ products are available at Town & Country and Albertson’s grocery stores, and through the Yellowstone Valley Food Hub, a nearby grower’s cooperative and 2021 VAPG recipient.
