Two Chattooga County farms have been awarded local farm grants.  The grants were given to Teloga Springs Farm and HF Farms.  The grants were available for farms that employ less than fifty people and that had no past due taxes or fees due to Chattooga County Government. The grants can be used for working capital or operational funds to be used for a specific purpose; COVID-19 impact recovery needs, including personnel, physical construction and/or renovation.  The money can also be used to purchase equipment or machinery, expand the farm’s business or improve tenant or leasehold property.  The grants were reviewed and awarded by the County Government, Chattooga County UGA Extension, the Chattooga Chamber of Commerce and the Chattooga County Young Farmers.
