Grant News

Crowley depends on grants as we are public supported, gate fees are what keeps our doors open. Grants are a huge piece to providing quality programs for our guests! This week we received wonderful “grant news”!

We are excited and grateful to announce that CMNC was awarded the Women’s Fund donation from the Florida Farm Bureau Federation. Our application focused on our garden/crop culture/ agroforestry teaching program. We were selected and we are grateful!

Funds from this donation will be used for several purposes including but not limited to- more diverse plant species, seeds, tools, water & irrigation needs, gates and fencing.

We are so very grateful for the interest and generosity of the Florida Farm Bureau!! Stay tuned and stay cool!

Let’s keep rolling with the good news! We also got a $1,000 donation from the Farm Bureau District 8 Women’s Committee to help continue our hurricane repairs and clean up! Here, Mrs Ellie John, District 8 Committee Chair and Sarasota County Farm Bureau President Robbie Martin presented this generous gift to the CEO.

But what is this here? Whats happening?! Back door dealing?!

When she heard all the commotion, I got shook down by the Moofia Queen… Reddy Moo Cow! She would not let the transaction occur without getting her cut!

Agricultural lifestyles can be difficult- weather, economy, pests, moofia…. The Farm Bureau understands and supports agriculture in our community. We are grateful for their support! Thank you!
