Two core programs.
One Integrated Approach.
Farmboy Organics
Over the past decade, we have developed two complementary programs – 1:1 Business Advising and Ecosystem Building – to support under-resourced producers in managing thriving businesses within more equitable, community-based food systems.
Business Advising
KTA’s bilingual Business Advising program is tailored to the learning and development of each client in business fundamentals.
Ecosystem Building
Our Ecosystem Building program increases equitable access to land, capital, and markets through community-driven projects and advocacy rooted in farmer and rancher needs.
How Our Programs Work Together
KTA’s work is centered around the lived experiences of our client farmers and ranchers. In our advising work, we partner side-by-side with producers to equip them with the business skills to realize their goals while also supporting their well being and ecological stewardship. This approach allows us to build a personalized skill-building plan for each client and develop a clear understanding of their lived experience.
Informed by producer needs and goals, our Ecosystem Building program works at the systemic level to unlock vital resources and elevate producer voices in order to shift power toward the farmer and rancher communities that are leading solutions. Together, the programs work to prepare farmers and ranchers to step into opportunities while also ensuring opportunities are more accessible, fair, and producer-led.

Number of Clients per county
* Active counties served with no current clients
Clients may have more than one site where they operate which is included in this map. Additionally, some clients may have moved to counties outside of our service areas.
The projects reflected include both past and current examples of our Ecosystem Building work as of 2026. The impacts of these projects span multiple counties and reach farmers and ranchers beyond those participating in our advising program.
Projects with primary sites are reflected by icons on the map while projects that reach multiple counties are listed below.
