Farming can feel isolating, and much of our work at FairShare is focused on connecting growers with community and building relationships.
Our grower team works daily to respond to the needs expressed by our growers, from honing their production skills to connecting with one another for idea-sharing and camaraderie. Thriving farmers nourish our communities across the Midwest.
Whether it’s helping beginning growers gain crucial skills, supporting farmers with techniques to protect their bodies and minds, or providing access to thought partnership along the way, our goal of investing in farmers manifests in all of our grower-facing work.

Together, we're not just growing vegetables; we're growing hope, community, and resilience across the Midwest.

The point about local supply chains strengthening local economies totally resonated with me, because I’ve seen small farms in my town revive when more of us commit to buying locally.
