SUPPORT THE FARMER FUND

Farming is inherently challenging and risky. But when a natural disaster or medical emergency strikes, farmers, along with their farm businesses, can become acutely stressed, straining their very livelihood.

HELPING FARMERS RECOVER

Recent storms like Hurricane Helene and Winter Storm Elliot have devastated farms across Georgia, leaving behind crop loss, damaged equipment, and disrupted operations. Through the Emergency Farmer Fund, Georgia Organics provides rapid relief to farmers facing crises—helping them rebuild and continue growing food for our communities.

Originally established in 2015, The Farmer Fund has supported farmers through hurricanes, freezes, and other unforeseen hardships. In partnership with organizations like Food Well Alliance, Wholesome Wave Georgia, Community Farmers Markets, The Common Market Southeast, The Conservation Fund, and Farm Aid, we work to provide financial relief when farmers need it most. was established in 2015 as a lifeline for farmers facing emergencies or natural disasters. Now, in the wake of Helene, Georgia Organics and our partners -  - are uniting to raise relief funds for farmers and spread the word.

LET’s BE PREPARED!

The past few years have shown us that we must be prepared for emergencies, and our farmers are especially vulnerable to climate-related weather changes, public health crises, and natural disasters. Furthermore, as a foundational element of our supply chain of healthy local food, they are especially critical to our communities when a significant disaster strikes. Healthy farmers = healthy communities.

Since 2018, more than $490,000 in direct support has been accessed by farmers who’s ability to provide food for their communities has been threated by natural disasters or health care emergencies.

The Farmer Fund is supported by caring businesses and individuals, like you. When you donate to The Farmer Fund, you are providing direct support to farmers facing a temporary and acute need.
