A simple step to help farmers thrive

FairShare works hard to support farmers, but no single organization or person can provide all the resources a farm needs to thrive. 

That's why extended networks of support, like the Midwest Vegetable Growers Network (MVEG) organized by FairShare, are so important!

Before joining MVEG, Dan struggled to find organic-specific information to share with the vegetable growers he serves through his work at Iowa State University Extension & Outreach. Through MVEG, Dan now has a strong network of colleagues across the Midwest he can rely on to find the best resources for those growers.

Organic vegetable growing can be isolating. The MVEG Network links organic growers and ag professionals across the Midwest.

Nick, a Minnesota farmer who also works for the Land Stewardship Project, has found that being part of MVEG means he and other farmers can tap into deeper pools of knowledge and resources. 

This is where you come in!

Supporting these crucial connections leads to local growers thriving and providing high quality food to our communities. 

Farmers grow our food - but they can't do it alone.
