Strengthening family farms and the communities around them.
The Farmer’s Community, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that researches and develops practical programs for family farms, the products and services they offer, and the towns and communities in which they operate.
Our focus
Three areas of work
Farm products & services
Identifying, developing, and expanding farm-based products and services, and the support structures that bring them to market.
Farm communities
Supporting and infusing the towns and neighborhoods where family farms operate with operational and economic opportunities.
How we work
From research to results
Research
Study what family farms and their communities need most, and identify funding sources.
Develop
Design programs and projects that answer those needs.
Partner
Bring together farms, businesses, institutions, and funders to carry them out.
Deliver
Launch programs and projects, measure what works, and build on and enhance each.
Where we are now
We have developed sets of farming-based and community-enhancing programs, and we are expanding those sets to further grow their implementation. We constantly review and seek new opportunities. If you want to be part of that work, we would like to hear from you.
