At the Center for an Agricultural Economy, we take care of each other and the land. We support rural communities and working landscapes by building a more interconnected local food system. We cultivate community by organizing and collaborating with farmers, food producers and neighbors. We strengthen the agricultural economy by providing farm & food business resources, access to capital, shared infrastructure, and dynamic social enterprises. Our care is expressed through places, programs, projects, and partnerships that ensure our rural food system is supported, our farms are thriving, and everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
