A Message from Southeast Regional Cooperative Partners

"We're excited to share that SERP is ready to kick off the Local Food Purchasing Assistance Program in the Southern Region! Thank you all for your patience and continued commitment to this important work.

The program is now accepting socially disadvantaged farmer, grower, and rancher participants and seeking food distribution partners.

If you’re interested in the LFPA program, we invite you to schedule a 1-on-1 meeting with Southern LFPA coordinators, DeAnthony Jameson and Mia Brown.

These meetings will cover this Fall (November-December) and Spring 2025 partnerships, MOUs, and onboarding for farmers, food producers, and distributors.

Thank you for your participation! We look forward to collaborating with you to make a positive impact on our local food system."
