Shauna Stephenson

Shauna Stephenson, doing business as Good Mama Farm, is a woman-owned sole proprietorship operating as a federal grant recipient focused on local and regional food systems development in Montana. The vendor has received two prime federal grants and one federal grant sub-award totaling $286 thousand across three awards since 2022, with all federal funding routed through the Department of Agriculture.

Good Mama Farm's work centers on farmers market development, local food production coordination, agritourism, and food distribution infrastructure in rural Montana. The vendor's primary capability is operating a small-scale local food network that connects on-farm production and partner producers to wholesale buyers, food banks, and farmers markets across a service area spanning Pony, Harrison, Three Forks, Manhattan, Belgrade, Bozeman, Norris, Ennis, Twin Bridges, Sheridan, Whitehall, and Butte, Montana. Representative prime grants include a $177,594 project grant from USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service under the Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program (CFDA 10.175) awarded September 7, 2023, running through September 7, 2025, supporting farmers market expansion, community-supported agriculture, online sales platforms, food processing and distribution, and food safety improvements. A second prime grant of unspecified amount from USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service, awarded January 3, 2022 and completed January 2, 2023, provided COVID-19 relief funding for workplace safety, facility retrofitting, transportation, and worker housing costs incurred between the January 27, 2020 Public Health Emergency declaration and December 31, 2021. As a sub-recipient, Good Mama Farm received a grant sub-award dated May 20, 2025 from the Department of Agriculture Montana to purchase a commercial refrigerated vehicle for produce and dairy distribution to rural customers including wholesale buyers, food banks, and farmers markets.

Activity has been episodic — one award in 2022, one in 2023, and one in 2025 — with all awards concentrated within USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service and Rural Business Cooperative Services divisions. The vendor operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient with no federal contracting presence.
