York Fresh Food Farms has been awarded $15,000 through a state grant program. The funds will be used for two high tunnels and for replacing plastic drip-tape irrigation lines with permanent PVC or orchard tubing hardware.

The grant came through the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture's Urban Agriculture Infrastructure Grant Program, which aims to help improve urban agriculture infrastructure by investing in the system, filling gaps, encouraging entities to work together, finding ways to bring operations to a greater scale, overcoming food deserts, and opening opportunities for people to become social entrepreneurs.
