AgriSolar Farm
Our AgriSolar Farm
The Food Group operates an AgriSolar Farm in collaboration with US Solar, where crops are cultivated between solar panels. Located in Big Lake, this innovative program offers a pathway for emerging farmers to secure affordable, long-term access to high-quality farmland.
Our land access programs are intentionally designed to support immigrant, limited resource, and historically underserved individuals.
Pathways to Land Access for Emerging Farmers
Access to affordable farmland is a major barrier for emerging farmers looking to expand their farming businesses. Through long-term land access, farmers can cultivate crops more efficiently, build trust with potential customers, and invest fully in business and marketing strategies for their farm.
