Grower Network
GGN works alongside a network of talented growers who face barriers to accessing farmland and agriculture resources. We support local leadership development to advance food justice and refugee and immigrant rights initiatives. We draw on the Equitable Food Oriented Development framework to support our placed-based organizing. We are a founding member of the Clarkston Food Initiative, a network of organizations, businesses, and institutions collaborating on food projects in the greater Clarkston area.
We prioritize partnering with:
Refugee & Immigrant Growers: Experienced growers who came to Georgia as refugees/immigrants with farming experience from their countries of origin.
Black, Indigenous, Farmers of Color, and other Low-wealth Farmers: Growers from culture, ethnic, and economic groups that are historically underserved and underrepresented in agricultural services.
Grower Networks: Groups of growers who are organizing, collaborating, and sharing land and/or markets.
