Catskills Agrarian Alliance
Hamden, NY
Catskills Agrarian Alliance (CAA) is a nonprofit farm, food hub, logistics network, and land access initiative based in Hamden, NY. What began in 2015 as a grassroots farmer collaborative officially became a 501(c)(3) in 2022, with a mission to connect small-scale, sustainable farms with communities most in need—especially those historically excluded from healthy food access.

Petersburg, VA
Foodshed Capital joined Agrarian Trust and the Central Virginia Agrarian Commons, Virginia Cooperative Extension, the Catawba Sustainability Center at Virginia Tech, the Petersburg Healthy Opportunities Project, the Petersburg League of Urban Growers, and Sankofa Community Orchard to pool resources to purchase a 5.12-acre urban farm just outside Richmond, Virginia. The Commons model provides farmers with critical land security through a 99-year lease while ensuring the land can never be bought or sold again and will remain protected for regeneratively managed food production.
