The past 20+ months of the pandemic have brought head-swiveling change. It has also validated the resilience of the local food movement and our work.
Despite daily challenges over the past two years, Georgia Organics reinvested in our farmers and communities like never before.
We distributed $100,000 in emergency farmer relief via The Farmer Fund.
We purchased over $200,000 in food from our farmers for Farmer Champion restaurant employees impacted by the pandemic.
We invested $175,000 in local food and farm innovators through our Farmer Accelerator program and community mini-grants.
Read more about our recent work in the 2020 Impact Report.
This never could have happened without support from our members and friends! You understand that food is medicine. You know that farmers are central to strong communities, public health, and environmental renewal.
The pandemic and racial justice movement have challenged Georgia Organics to grow in bold and creative ways through our forthcoming strategic plan. Together with you, Georgia Organics is cultivating a food future that will:
Grow the number of profitable organic and regenerative farmers making a living wage, particularly Black, Indigenous, Latina/o and rural farmers;
Grow a network of influential advocates championing organic farmers; and
Grow capital investment in organic farmers and regional food systems.
Bold impacts require deep investment.
We ask you to GROW WITH US. Any amount you can give is valued in our mission to invest in organic farmers to nurture the land, your family and our communities.
Pivots are temporary, movements create lasting change. Won’t you join us?
