Growing Equitable Participation in the Organic Marketplace

Welcome to Farmers Alliance

At Farmers Alliance, we are dedicated to fostering equitable participation in the organic marketplace for underserved populations of farmers and ranchers, including veterans and beginning farmers. Recognizing the pressing need to address food disparity and ensure access to fresh, healthy food options, we are deeply invested in bridging the gap in access to nutritious foods in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. We understand the significant challenges that many communities face in accessing these essentials, particularly in urban and rural areas. Therefore, we actively work to combat this disparity while also prioritizing the importance of ensuring fair access to opportunities and resources within the agricultural sector. We are committed to providing support, advocacy, and resources to empower these groups to thrive in the organic farming community by promoting the production, distribution, and availability of sustainably grown food in these regions.
