Support GSFA's Farmer-Led Initiative

Donation protected
Gateway Sustainable Farmers Alliance (GSFA) is a new farmer-led organization supporting and promoting farmers in the greater St. Louis region. We are building upon the demonstrated success of the collaborative work of our staff and farmers in St. Louis-area food systems for the last 5+ years.

Historically, small-scale, sustainable farmers have been undervalued and underserved when it comes to access to resources and opportunities such as technical assistance, subsidies, funding opportunities, networking, and promotion. GFSA prioritizes historically underserved farmers while facilitating a thriving farmer network and promoting sustainable farmers and farming practices in the STL region. This organization is vital to the success of area farmers, and integral to cultivating a robust and resilient local food system. GFSA works to make opportunities known to farmers, to connect farmers with each other to share knowledge and resources, to coordinate cost-sharing opportunities, and to promote and market local goods in our region.

Our network currently consists of 75 farms with 80% of our farmers considered historically underserved.

We have committed to be an independent and truly farmer-led organization. As we get our new organization established, we need immediate funding for operating expenses, especially to compensate individuals who have volunteered their time and personal resources since January 2024.

Funds will be used to compensate for volunteer time, reimburse expenses, cover professional fees associated with establishing a new nonprofit organization, and provide the basic necessities to run the organization while we secure stable funding.
