A Farmer's Share

Our Services

A Farmer’s Share delivers integrated, equity-centered solutions to build resilient, community-aligned local food systems. We start with high-impact advisory to stabilize and validate models, then deploy capital to own and operate mid-chain infrastructure—creating recurring revenue, proof points, and scalable impact.

Our work forms a deliberate flywheel advising informs ownership, ownership generates demand, demand pulls policy change, and policy enables growth.

Who We Serve

We serve small family farmers (including BIPOC and women-led operations), nonprofits, public agencies & local governments, and processors, distributors & retailers who are working to build resilient, equitable food systems. We serve each food system actor to close the loops corporate consolidation has broken.

Small Family Farmers

You need stable markets, legacy protection, and tools to thrive amid economic pressures. We provide advisory on grant navigation, USDA compliance, regenerative transitions, succession planning, heirs’ property resolution, cooperative formation, equity-sharing models, among other topics. We commit to caring about your family farm as much as you do, while connecting you to fair aggregation, processing, and distribution.

Nonprofit Organizations

You aim to scale impact, secure sustainable funding, and advance food access/equity without losing mission focus. We offer strategic advisory, help transition programs into community-owned models, unlock grants, design partnerships, and build unique revenue streams for all your operational needs.

Public Agencies & Local Governments

You want to strengthen local economies, support small farms, reduce food insecurity, and align procurement with sustainability goals. We deliver policy design, procurement ordinance support, zoning guidance, coalition facilitation, supply-chain mapping, and reliable local sourcing through our growing portfolio of owned hubs and kitchens.

Local Food System Actors (Processors, Distributors and Retailers)

You seek dependable local/regenerative supply, government contracts, upcycling solutions, waste reduction, and measurable social impact. We provide advisory on compliance/bids, help build pipelines to small farms, facilitate exclusive access to community-owned assets, and align your operations with equitable, transparent networks.

Our Four Interconnected Service Areas

Our four interconnected service areas form a powerful flywheel that rebuilds resilient, community-controlled food systems: we stabilize small farms through advisory and land support, reclaim and own mid-chain infrastructure for fair access and reduced waste, create reliable urban and institutional demand, and advance evidence, convenings, and policy change to enable long-term scale and equity.

Advisory and capacity-building to stabilize and expand small farms.

Ideal for: Farmers and nonprofits seeking profitability and legacy protection.

Mid-Chain Reclamation

Acquire, retrofit, and transition aggregation hubs, processors, cold storage, and kitchens into community-owned B-Corps with AFS equity stakes.
Ideal for: Nonprofits, processors, communities, and agencies ready for ownership.

Urban Access & Institutional Demand

We forge reliable channels from rural producers to urban consumers and institutions, eliminating food deserts and embedding local food into procurement systems.
Who benefits: Public agencies, local governments, schools, hospitals, and food-access programs.

Research, Policy & Convening

We generate evidence, shift narratives, convene stakeholders, and advocate for policies that enable local food systems to thrive at scale.

Who benefits: Foundations, policymakers, nonprofits, and networks seeking systemic change.
