County development bore or leader
neither are going to give you massive amounts but county enterprise board will give good advice mentoring and market research that I think is good to listen to and then work from there

All the leader groups are only processing applications already completed and approved. No new applications being accepted for funding until the next round of Leader is approved. Late 2014/2015.

How about horticulture sector grants ??
