Rooted in Agriculture, Committed to Community

Discover how the farmers association is building a resilient, sustainable future for local food systems.

Who We Are

The Alabama Urban Gardeners and Farmers Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting sustainable agriculture, community engagement, food security, and economic development throughout Alabama.

Operating as the outreach and community engagement arm alongside our parent organization, Strategic Alignment Network, LLC  (established in 2019), we bridge the gap between institutional resources and grassroots growers. By combining deep strategic consulting capabilities with practical, on-the-ground support, we provide hands-on agricultural education, technical assistance, demonstrations, and leadership development opportunities to the communities that need them most.
