Learning Library

Local Grains

Affordable Farmland Access
Sustainable Agriculture Enterprises (SAgE) program makes NJ farmland accessible to organic, sustainable and regenerative farmers with long-term leases at affordable rates.
Donate Excess Food
Instead of plowing under excess produce or composting market surplus, contact our LocalShare volunteers to glean/collect what you cannot use and deliver it to social service agencies to feed those in need.
Food Hub Sales
The Foodshed Alliance recruits rural farms to sell through Urban Agriculture Cooperative, a Newark-based food hub. With an online buying system and aggregation sites in rural NJ, the food hub can provide an additional sales outlet and revenue stream for local farms.
Specialty Crop Marketing Campaign
The “Know Farms, Know Food” consumer marketing campaign is designed to increase consumer awareness and engagement with specialty crop farms in our region. Participating farmers receive online promotion and marketing, stipends to support consumer outreach events & more!
Promote Your Environmental Stewardship
River-Friendly Farm Certification is a voluntary program that publicly acknowledges local farmers who are exceptional stewards of their land, promoting this great work to customers who value environmental best practices.
