We workdirectly with rural, low-income, low-volume farmers, to educate themabout sustainable farming practices (with an emphasis on growth ofnative crops), and to connect them with hard-to-access world markets, simultaneously expanding their capacities to support themselves andfurthering the development of their communities.

• Work with farmers that lack the means, education, and/or resources to certify their crops/products as either Organic or Fair Trade.
• Provide training in sustainable farming practices to farmers.  
• Educate farmers and consumers about the benefits of growing crops native to the farms’’ region.
• Enable rural farmers to bring their goods to market by connecting them with infrastructure available in their immediate area and abroad.
• Ensure that farmers receive a fair price for their goods.
• Promote small business and entrepreneurship in the United States and abroad by connecting them with uniquely marketable products.
• Educate consumers about the benefits of purchasing goods grown using sustainable farming practices.
