Together, we build and sustain networks of land, resources, markets, and people in order to create a more equitable food system that is driven by cultural diversity, inclusive economies, and regenerative agriculture practices. false false 666691 For the year ended December 31, 2023, Global Growers Network, Inc. operated the following programs:(1)GGNs Grower Network builds relationships and community among the 200+ diverse growers who are actively growing food for their families and local markets through smallholder plots across metro Atlanta. Growers in GGNs network increase access to and consumption of fresh and culturally relevant foods. They also increase the economic self-sufficiency of their families through cost savings and income generation.(2)GGNs Land Network facilitates access to quality farmland for growers who face barriers to accessing land and capital. GGN manages a network of farm and community garden sites across metro Atlanta in Decatur, Clarkston, Stone Mountain, and Conyers. Through connection to land, GGN increases opportunities for growers to preserve and share important cultural (agricultural) traditions. Through community gardens and farms, the land network is designed to increase cooperation among growers in their production and distribution systems. GGN also works to increase the biodiversity of land managed by GGN.(3)GGNs Resource Network connects growers to agricultural resources for home and commercial production to help them achieve their farm/garden goals, with a focus on organic agriculture techniques and, with commercial growers, on market readiness support. GGN specializes in designing and sharing culturally and linguistically appropriate resources that support international farmers in adapting their agricultural skills to a new culture and climate. GGN also fosters collaborations and coalition building among local partners and stakeholders to create a network of support around GGNs grower network.(4)GGNs Sales Network connects growers to market and enterprise opportunities to support their economic self-sufficiency. GGN supports growers who sell produce through a variety of distribution channels to create real economic opportunities in local and regional food systems.GGNs operations were significantly impacted in April 2019 by a flood of Bamboo Creek Farm that resulted in shutting down the farm operation and a disruption to the sales program. In April 2021, GGN entered into a lease with a purchase option with The Conservation Fund to acquire a 23-acre farm in Rockdale County. In 2023, Global Growers successfully closed its $1.5 million capital campaign to acquire and develop the new property, and operations that were launched in 2022 continued with site improvements, the start up of farm activities for eight farmers, and the piloting of farm experience events on the property. 666691 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 3 0 true 18 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false GA X X SUSAN PAVLIN 4042546175 500 SOUTH COLUMBIA DRIVE DECATUR GA 30030 X SUSAN PAVLIN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 67212 0 0 KATIE BEACHAM Chairperson 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 WHITNEY DAVISON Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 VIRAJ PATEL Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JENNIFER MATTHEWS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RANDY MARTIN Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DORI PAP Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KARL BARHAM Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAMESHA TABOR Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 67212 0 false false false 0 493302 565355 1500 1058657 GROWER & PUBLIC PROGRAM 10077 10077 PRODUCT SALES 1304 1304 SPEAKING AND SERVICE FEES 900 900 12281 11253 11253 0 0 750 750 750 750 0 0 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 0 1082941 13031 11253 X 0 0 0 0 67212 43688 10082 13442 0 401815 305969 76125 19721 0 36351 27100 6681 2570 38969 28433 6887 3649 0 0 12926 12926 0 0 0 270518 171043 20257 79218 0 0 3986 3986 0 48312 41188 7124 5699 5412 267 20 0 1819 1245 574 0 0 10095 10095 20504 20504 SUPPLIES 33727 24370 3449 5908 DUES AND SUBS 8820 670 7002 1148 BAD DEBT EXPENSE 7478 7478 EQUIPMENT RENTAL 1630 1630 1813 1759 54 971674 666691 177623 127360 163210 241581 902993 659551 169098 300408 3375 1150 0 0 0 0 0 462520 94074 293292 368446 0 0 0 0 52938 9347 1584906 1580483 23611 17434 59102 16248 82713 33682 X 562011 567038 940182 979763 1502193 1546801 1584906 1580483 111267 -66659 X false true X true false X 689671 1004513 1409829 989755 1058657 5152425 53668 35060 26058 4514 12281 131581 0 0 12666 12666 12666 15867 16736 70601 756005 1052239 1448553 1010136 1087674 5354607 271000 432500 282800 596989 364247 1947536 0 271000 432500 282800 596989 364247 1947536 3407071 54 885 1994 3326 11253 17512 0 54 885 1994 3326 11253 17512 0 98315 8482 291 14204 750 122042 854374 1061606 1450838 1027666 1099677 5494161 0.62010 0.63290 0.00320 0.00110 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 354527 354527 107993 94074 13919 368446 CREDIT CARDS 26 LEASE LIABILITY - LAND 9347 PAYROLL LIABILITIES 6375 SECURITY DEPOSITS 500 16248 1111200 28259 28259 1082941 1082941 999933 28259 28259 971674 971674 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b PROVIDE PDF FOR REVIEW Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 18 PROVIDE PDF UPON REQUEST Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 No documents available to the public.
