We're Funding the Farms That Keep America Fed

Better Farms Foundation bridges the gap between donors who want to make a real impact and the farmers who need it most. We manage every project on the ground, handling everything from planning to execution.

Building Better Farms From the Ground Up

The majority of the U.S. food supply is grown by independent family farms. But these farms are vanishing at an alarming rate. Better Farms funds and manages projects with hands-on expertise to strengthen these operations from the ground up. The results are better farms, healthier land, and a food supply you can count on.

What Independent Farmers Are Up Against

Large operations get crop insurance that covers their risk. Smaller farms, especially organic producers, don't get the same protection. When disaster strikes, they're on their own.

We Work Like Farmers, Report Like Scientists

On-the-Ground Work

Our team partners with farmers to build infrastructure and put sustainable practices into action. Projects get finished. Farms get stronger.

Proof, Not Just Updates

Every project is tracked closely and reported back with clear data. Funders walk away with ESG-ready metrics that show real impact.

Funding That Multiplies

Contributions from corporations, foundations, and donor-advised funds are pooled into a single effort. Each dollar stretches further, and one farm project can draw from several sources.

"We knew what we needed to do to make our operation more resilient, but we couldn't get the financing. Better Farms didn't just write a check—they helped us design the project, manage the installation, and now we have data showing exactly how much our water usage has dropped. For the first time in years, I'm not worried about the next drought."

Led by the People Who Built Organic Agriculture

The people running Better Farms helped define organic standards, build national brands, and advise the USDA. They're putting that expertise to work for the farms that need it most.
