FARMWISE Project
We’re Building a Better Food Future
Doudlah Farms Organic’s FARMWISE Project = Farmers Accessing Resilient Markets through Wisconsin’s Infrastructure for Sustainable Enterprises.
We’re building a state-of-the-art, centralized facility in Wisconsin to clean, package, and distribute organic ingredients. This will connect small and mid-sized farms to major markets across the U.S., increasing food security.
We’ve secured grant support—but to activate it, we need to match each dollar. That’s where you come in.
With your help, we can:
- Support 192 underserved producers, including beginning farmers, veterans, and BIPOC-owned farms
- Create 25 family-supporting jobs
- Expand distribution for 50+ organic commodities
- Reach 6 key markets: retail, foodservice, co-ops, CSAs, institutions, and direct-to-consumer
Together, we can make regenerative agriculture more accessible, profitable, and sustainable.
