Mission

Georgia Organics invests in organic farmers for the health of our communities and the land.

990 for the year ended December 31, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • Georgia Organics invests in organic farmers for the health of the land and our communities. Our vision is that all Georgia farmers nurture and heal the land, people, and communities. To achieve this, we work to increase farmer prosperity and racial equity, grow a resilient local food movement, and provide impact capital for investment in organic and regenerative farms and regional food systems. Programs include direct farmer services with initiatives like the Accelerator program and establishing purchasing and procurement benchmarks and road-maps for local and organic food procurement for communities, schools, early care centers, and restaurants to become farmer champions. Through our Community Collaborations program, we work to build a resilient local food movement to grow an influential network of advocates who champion organic and regenerative farms through partnerships and alliances convening farmers, advocates, partners, and stakeholders along with strong communications channels and advocacy. To advance this, we provide Impact Capital through the Farmer Fund, micro-grants, and collective impact strategies.Georgia Organics did execute a regional 3 day conference, SOWTH, with farm tours, and several speaker forums to reconnect farmers, producers, organic organizations and others after COVID.
