One of the biggest network of organic farms

Our farms
The Family Farmers Network is a network of produce and livestock farms that promotes community-supported organic farming through an organic basket distribution program.
The Family Farmers Network is an exemplary model of ecological agriculture and market proximity.

Municipalities can play an active role in the development and consolidation of this contribution to the local economy by adjusting their regulations in order to make public spaces available year-round to our farmers.

Schools take root
Schools Take Root is an innovative fundraising campaign and a unique opportunity to educate young people and their families about healthy, local and eco-responsible food: the sale of baskets of organic vegetables produced by the Family Farmers Network farms to fund projects for schools, daycare centers and CPEs or community organizations.
