Sponsorship & Support
Citizen Farmers Academy
As a new non-profit program, the Citizen Farmers Academy is seeking sponsorships to support the launch of our pilot season, hire a farm educator and develop our curriculum and educational platform.
The pilot program is completely free to participants. Your donation will allow us to serve students from schools throughout the Chatt Hills including Palmetto Elementary and the Chattahoochee Hills Charter School in addition to allowing us to donate the food the youth grow to local food pantries.
In the next few years, with your support, we will be able to offer this program to kids and communities across the country.
T&T’s Vegetables was the first youth farming enterprise in the Citizen Farmers Academy.
CFA is launching its pilot program across Chattahoochee Hills, GA.
We are accepting donations through our fiscal sponsor, Captain Planet Foundation. Please email scott@citizenfarmers.org if you have any questions or would like to make your donations via wire transfer.

Corporate Sponsorship
The vision for Citizen Farmers is to unite communities in cultivating the seeds of our future - both the literal seeds and the seeds of our children. We see your local business playing a key role. As business owners and operators you help keep our local economy thriving. By investing in local children, families, and farmland through CFA you are establishing a lasting and healthy connection to the community.
Our sponsors will become part of the family of brands that we promote in community events and through our marketing. The families and community members will know that you helped to provide this amazing opportunity to their children.
Your sponsorship is about more than money. It’s about collaboration and co-creation! Let’s get some dirt under our fingernails and find creative ways to grow together. Here’s just a few examples of non-financial ways you can contribute to this cause.
Provide meals or snacks to kids when they finish a day’s work on the farm
Local restaurants could offer a special menu item featuring fresh produce grown by local kids at CFA
Let your team volunteer to work on the farm - this helps defray our land rental costs
Promote CSA shares to your employees or customers - allowing them to purchase a share of the harvest from the kids’ farm enterprises (limited to folks living locally)
Share your expertise! Have an idea for how you might help or want to see what’s possible?
