Mission
Global Growers Network partners with people from multiple cultures who grow fresh food for their families and local marketplaces, and grows leaders who strengthen our local food system.
Program accomplishments
- For the year ended December 31, 2025, Global Growers Network, Inc. operated the following programs:(1) GGNs Grower Network Team builds relationships and community among the 200+ growers from different backgrounds 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 resiliency of their families through cost savings and income generation. (2) GGNs Land Stewardship Team facilitates access to quality farmland for growers. GGN manages a network of farm and community garden sites across metro-Atlanta in order to increase opportunities for growers to preserve and share agricultural traditions. Through community gardens and farms, the land network is designed to increase cooperation among growers in their production and distribution systems. Additionally, the Land Stewardship Team builds and maintains infrastructure such as irrigation, cold storage, wash stations, and tools and equipment that support growers with activating the land. GGN also works to increase the sustainability of land it manages. (3) GGNs Farm Program Team connects growers who are building agricultural businesses to agricultural, market readiness and business support. GGN also fosters collaborations and coalition building among local partners and stakeholders to create a network of support for farmers includingassistance with organic certification. GGN supports growers who sell produce through a variety of distribution channels to create real economic opportunities in local and regional food systems. (4) GGNs Engagement Team fosters experiential learning and volunteer opportunities for community members to deepen their understanding of regenerative agriculture, local food systems, agricultural heritage, and land conservation. GGNs operations were significantly impacted in April 2019 by flooding at Bamboo Creek Farm, which resulted in the closure of the farm operation and 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 inRockdale County. Operations at the new property began in 2022, and GGN completed the purchase of the farm in 2025 following a successful capital campaign to acquire and develop the property.Expenses $869,254 · revenue $23,803
