Silly Nice Partners with FarmOn! Foundation to Support the Future of Sustainable Farming
At Silly Nice, we're always looking for ways to make a positive impact in the communities we serve. That's why we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with the FarmOn! Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to the future of family-owned farms and sustainable agriculture in rural America. Set to launch in 2025, this collaboration is focused on supporting educational programs that provide the next generation of farmers with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in the world of sustainable farming.
Addressing the Future of Family Farms
The FarmOn! Foundation, founded by Tessa and Eric Williams in 2011, is on a mission to solve one of rural America's most pressing issues: the lack of succession planning for family-owned farms. With over 98% of U.S. farms being family-owned, the rural-urban migration of younger generations is leaving many rural areas without the next generation of farmers. This demographic shift puts the future of family farming at risk and threatens the traditions of ethical, sustainable agriculture.
FarmOn! has been working tirelessly to bridge this gap through hands-on education, entrepreneurship training, and policy advocacy. Their programs are designed to prepare young people for sustainable farming careers, ultimately revitalizing rural economies and ensuring the continuation of sustainable, ethical farming practices.
Our Shared Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation
As co-founders of Silly Nice, we—LeVar Thomas and Shane Breen—are deeply committed to giving back to the community. We’re excited that our values align so perfectly with those of FarmOn! Foundation. “We believe in the power of entrepreneurship and the importance of inspiring the next generation to pursue sustainable careers in farming,” said LeVar. “Supporting FarmOn! allows us to contribute to a cause that’s important to us as a socially responsible brand. Together, we can help ensure that future generations are equipped with the skills they need to feed the world sustainably.”
This partnership is a natural extension of our commitment to community, sustainability, and quality. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we strive to support causes that resonate with our mission, including cannabis education, environmental sustainability, and rural economic development. By teaming up with FarmOn!, we’re expanding our impact beyond cannabis to support the future of sustainable farming in America.
Empowering the Next Generation of Farmers
FarmOn! Foundation’s programs are focused on providing hands-on learning experiences through internships at organic farms, entrepreneurship training for young farmers, and advocacy to protect family farms. These initiatives help equip young people with the skills they need to succeed in the agricultural industry.
By offering internships on working farms, FarmOn! gives students the opportunity to learn sustainable farming techniques firsthand, enabling them to either run their own farms or contribute to the broader agricultural landscape. Additionally, their policy advocacy work is essential in lobbying for policies that protect and support family farms, which are the backbone of rural economies.
Through this partnership, Silly Nice will amplify these efforts by raising awareness and encouraging businesses and individuals to support agricultural education and invest in the future of farming.
Strengthening Communities and Promoting Sustainable Agriculture
“By working together, we can inspire the next generation of farmers and fill the critical gap in rural America,” said Tessa Williams, co-founder of FarmOn! Foundation. “We’re thrilled to partner with Silly Nice, a brand that shares our commitment to community, sustainability, and innovation.”
As part of our collaboration, we will leverage our platform to raise awareness about FarmOn!’s mission, encouraging our followers and supporters to get involved. Through social media campaigns, blog posts, and community outreach, we’ll be spreading the word about the importance of sustainable farming and agricultural education. This initiative is aligned with our goal of promoting a socially responsible and sustainable future for all.
A Long-Term Vision for Rural Economies
FarmOn! has a long-term vision of creating a replicable model for conscious food production that can be shared across the nation. Their focus is on rebuilding rural economies and ensuring that farming remains a viable and profitable career path for future generations. Silly Nice is excited to support this vision by providing financial resources and community outreach to help make this vision a reality.
Our partnership with FarmOn! represents our commitment to supporting causes that go beyond the cannabis industry. By investing in programs that teach young people about sustainable farming practices, we are investing in a future where rural America and the planet can thrive.
How You Can Get Involved
We invite everyone to get involved in this meaningful cause. Through our partnership with FarmOn! Foundation, we’re encouraging donations, volunteering opportunities on organic farms, and supporting policies that protect family farms and promote sustainable agriculture.
FarmOn! offers multiple ways to get involved, from internships to community advocacy.
