The Common Grain Alliance, in partnership with Local Food Network and GO Virginia Region 8, is working to identify opportunities for farmers and other agricultural businesses to collaborate around sharing and leveraging logistics infrastructure. This infrastructure could be dry or reefer truck space or dry or cold storage.
To achieve this, we are working to survey Virginia producers to understand 1) the logistics landscape for small agricultural businesses, and 2) survey participants’ exact needs and logistics pricing models. This survey will help us connect Virginia farmers who can share or use extra storage and truck space to test a cooperative approach to logistics management.
How you can help:
- If you’re a Virginia producer, please fill out the survey: https://www.
