PDA Marketing Grants

Help Growers Compete

For more than 25 years, the PA Department of Agriculture (PDA) has awarded marketing grants to Pennsylvania mushroom farmers to help them compete with other produce items in the grocery store. The grant program helps mushroom farmers reach consumers, retail stores, restaurants and food service operators to share the many benefits of buying and cooking with mushrooms. Recipe booklets, brochures, educational and PA Preferred materials are developed to help consumers learn about mushrooms.
