The Project
Taking care of our partner farmers is of utmost importance to us. We want to help them form meaningful relationships with the people they feed and be agents of change and beacons of hope in their respective communities.Our goal is to restore dignity to the profession of farming and empower farmers to innovate, be creative, and excel in their craft.
Be part of our advocacy by pledging support to our farmers’ Learning & Accreditation (L&A) Program.
The L&A Program will provide Good Food Community partner farmers with the necessary tools, life skills, and practical knowledge to sustain their own farms; manage their own agribusinesses; and positively influence their communities by living a sustainable lifestyle and being an agent of change.
The program includes the following activities:
· Farmer Support Activities

- workshops and seminars on seed saving, germination techniques, soil health, natural pest control, and permaculture design
- educational trips to organic farms and demo sites
· Entrepreneurial Development
- workshops on farm management
- seminars on financial planning and basic accounting
· And Advocacy Workshops
- how to set up a local CSA and Farmers' Markets
