You don't need a bigger farm. You need a thicker file.
The farms getting written onto institutional contracts in Houston are not the biggest ones. They are the ones whose documentation is complete and whose volume is pooled.
What we do for you
Readiness Score and gap plan
We score your farm across the five gates and hand you an ordered punch list with real costs and timelines. The score is free.
Group certification
GAP certification has historically been out of reach for small, mid-sized, beginning, and underserved farms. USDA's GroupGAP program lets farms, food hubs, and marketing organizations band together and pool resources to achieve certification. We hold the quality management system; you certify as a member of the group.
Aggregation
Your 400 pounds plus four other farms' 400 pounds is a 2,000-pound line a district can actually contract. You keep your own operation and get counted at scale.
Plant against real demand
Institutional contracts are typically established 4 to 6 months before delivery. We tell you what is being bought next season so you plant for a buyer instead of hoping for one.
Nothing. The readiness score is free and takes about six minutes.
