The Alabama Sustainable Agriculture Network, is a grassroots network of farmers, gardeners, local-food-loving brown thumbs, and everyone in between – who together are building a better food system for Alabamians, by Alabamians.
ASAN is holding a membership drive from June 16th-30th, at farmers markets around the state. If you already support local farmers at farmers markets stop by while you’re there, and take the next step — join ASAN.
You can also join online at https://asanonline.org/join-asan.
$25 annually – Individual Membership
$50 annually – Farm/Household Membership
Sustainable agriculture holds that the way forward is to resist uniformity and commodification. Farmers foster that spirit in on-farm biological communities – ASAN seeks to foster it in our human communities as well.
In joining the ASAN family, you’re helping to protect and remediate our vital soil and water, foster locally rooted community development, and promoting food that is as healthy for those eating it as for those growing it.
By joining ASAN, you’re giving life to a movement for a better way forward for Alabama.

Ask the market if they can make a table available, and/or share information about the drive on their weekly email or social media pages. We can supply the promo materials you need! Contact [email protected] if you want to help and have a lead on a market!
