In the vast expanse of the American farming landscape, a significant number of small, medium, and underserved farms remain oblivious to the opportunities that lie in competing and winning government and corporate contracts. GrownFresh-n-Natural, Inc. is here to dispel the notion that only a select few can thrive in this arena.
The Current Reality:
The National Agricultural Statistics Service (Family Farms, 2017) reveals a stark contrast between the sheer number of small family farms and their contribution to the agricultural market. Despite constituting 88% of all U.S. farms and occupying 46% of farmland, they represent only 19% of the total value of agricultural products sold. The Government Accountability Office (Farm Bill Primer: Beginning and Underserved Producers, 2023) further emphasizes that socially disadvantaged farm operators, encompassing women, make up 30% of all U.S. farm operators but contribute only 13% to the value of agricultural sales.
This imbalance means that the majority of farmers find themselves on the outskirts of lucrative government and corporate contracts, while only a handful of large-scale family farms dominate the market, receiving 43% of the value of all agricultural products.
