About Us
We connect local citizens with local farmers
The Red Hills Small Farm Alliance (RHSFA) is a non-profit organization that supports our local farms and producers so they can increase food access in our community.
We help consumers seeking fresh food connect with small farmers, ranchers, and food producers in the Florida Panhandle and Southwest Georgia.
Our strength is distribution: Farmers/producers list their seasonal offerings on our Red Hills Online Market. Shoppers select. In a few days, they have their meats, fruit, soups, vegetables, pastries and more delivered to their home, place of business or a central hub for pickup.
Founded in 2010
What started as four women in agriculture meeting over potluck dinners, and sharing their interests, led to a giant cooler on Tallahassee’s Gaines Street full of produce for pick up.
More coolers followed in an expanded location in the former FRM Feed Store. Shopper/customer members exploded with the 2020 pandemic and farmer producers followed. The RHOM expanded its reach to underserved communities with the addition of SNAP, Florida’s “Fresh Access Bucks” program, plus free delivery through grant funds. Today, more than 120 farmers/producers are serving 1,000 shopper customers weekly.
Farmer Education/Networking
The RHSFA encourages collaboration—experienced farmers sharing expertise with other farmers, especially newer ones. And the organization provides a strong social media presence, helping farmers network and build a following.
