Maryland Farm and Producer Viability Program (MFPVP)

To apply, see the Applications page.

The MFPVP is designed to improve the financial viability of producers/processors or assist fledging rural entrepreneurs through the provision of specialized business planning assistance and preferred access to MARBIDCO’s low-interest loan programs. The aim of the program is to help early stage enterprises with operational and market risk assessment and with formal business plan development. In addition, once a viable business plan is developed, a program participant should be able to interest a commercial lender to finance a portion of the cost of the new enterprise to be undertaken.
