Dear FARMERHOOD Community,
We want to inform you that as of March 1, 2025, the FARMERHOOD project has concluded its operations and is no longer collecting funds.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported our initiative and contributed to helping Ukrainian farmers during these challenging times. Your support has been invaluable to many farms across the country.
Please note that any new donations intended for FARMERHOOD will be redirected to support Alight's emergency operations in Ukraine. These funds will continue to help Ukrainian communities, focusing on critical humanitarian needs across the country.
Sincerely, The FARMERHOOD Team
Since the beginning of the war, the Ukrainian farmers faced many of the same grave dangers as soldiers when they reaped this year’s harvest. Across Ukraine, Russian artillery and mines have killed tractor drivers. Thousands of acres of ripe wheat have burned from strikes. Fields are pockmarked where incoming shells have left craters. Equipment, storages and other agricultural facilities have been destroyed. Ukraine’s agriculture sector remains acutely vulnerable in the immediate and the long term and farmers have limited ability and willingness to plant for future seasons.
FARMERHOOD is a charity project focused on small size Ukrainian farmers impacted by war. Our mission is to connect farmers across the world via an Farmer-to-Farmer platform to enhance international Farmerhood power and donation support.
FARMERHOOD business model brings together foreign individual farmers, coops and other large organizations who want to help Ukrainian peers maintain their business operations, restore their farms, and support the farm workforce.
We stand with Ukrainian Farmers, and believe in the international agrarian Brotherhood.
