what makes us different

Our Impact Rooted in B-Corp Values

At A Farmer’s Share, impact is not an add-on—it’s our core purpose. As a Public Benefit Corporation, we build resilient, community-aligned local food systems that empower small family farms (especially BIPOC-led), eliminate urban food deserts, revitalize rural economies, and counter corporate consolidation. Every advisory contract, mid-chain asset we own, partnership we forge, and policy we advance creates measurable social, economic, and environmental returns—rooted in care, collectivity, transparency, stewardship, and equity.

Care & Community

We lead with deep empathy and genuine relationships, treating every partner as part of a shared community rather than just a client. Unlike traditional consulting firms focused on transactions, we prioritize care in every interaction, ensuring solutions are grounded in human connection and long-term well-being.

Collective Action & Coalition Building

We build bridges between farmers, nonprofits, governments, businesses, and underrepresented leaders to create systemic change that no single organization can achieve alone. While many consultants work in isolation, we act as the connective fiber, fostering coalitions and shared ownership to amplify impact across the food system.

Data-Driven Advocacy & Policymaking

Every recommendation and advocacy effort is rooted in rigorous research, systems analysis, and evidence-based insights rather than assumptions or generic templates. This data-driven approach empowers us to influence equitable public policy, restore access to funding (as seen in our $2B in USDA support), and deliver measurable, defensible results for our partners.

Public Benefit over Profits

As a women-led public benefit corporation pursuing B Corp certification, we are legally structured to prioritize positive community and environmental impact over short-term financial gain. This foundational commitment sets us apart from profit-first firms, ensuring every decision serves our clients and the greater good of resilient roots and thriving communities.

Equity , Justice & Inclusion

We center justice by explicitly prioritizing historically excluded voices in every project, program, and policy recommendation. While equity is often an afterthought for other consultants, it is our core operating principle—embedded in our structure, ACRE framework, and targeted initiatives like tax credit programs for small and BIPOC family farms.

Environmental Stewardship & Resilience

We nurture regenerative, circular, and climate-resilient solutions that restore soil health, reduce waste, and build long-term ecological and economic stability. Unlike conventional consulting that may overlook environmental consequences, we integrate stewardship into every aspect of our work.

Don’t just take our word for it

We hired A Farmer's Share to do a legal analysis and prepare a toolkit for a group of federal grantees to appeal their contract terminations. With a short turnaround time, Kelsey and Dawn prepared a robust suite of resources and templates for widespread use, and also provided deeper support for several smaller projects serving historically underserved farmers. They went above and beyond in producing a thorough, comprehensive toolkit. They were communicative, met their deadlines, and wrapped up with a detailed summary of their work. I can wholeheartedly recommend them as a knowledgeable, personable and committed team who care deeply about sustainable agriculture and farmer viability!
