Small Farm Systems LLC

Small Farm Systems LLC, a woman-owned limited liability partnership based in Ashland, Missouri, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on agricultural relief and farm aggregation services. The vendor has received three federal awards since 2022, all from the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service, with one prime grant award and two sub-grant awards, totaling $286 thousand in obligated dollars. Small Farm Systems LLC competes in the grant space rather than federal contracts; it holds no federal contract prime positions and sits on no contract vehicles.

The vendor's prime grant work centers on COVID-19 pandemic relief. In January 2022, the Agricultural Marketing Service awarded Small Farm Systems LLC a project grant to support costs incurred by food processors, distributors, farmers markets, and producers responding to the novel coronavirus pandemic between the January 27, 2020 public health emergency declaration and December 31, 2021. This award covered workplace safety measures, market pivots, facility retrofitting, transportation, worker housing, and medical expenses for beneficiary employees and organizations. The grant completed in January 2023.

Since the prime COVID-relief grant closed, Small Farm Systems LLC has shifted to sub-recipient roles. In June 2025, the Missouri Department of Agriculture awarded the vendor a sub-grant focused on aggregating produce for mid-Missouri markets under the vendor's trade name, Three Creeks Farm. In August 2025, the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska named Small Farm Systems LLC, operating as Three Creeks Farm, as a sub-grantee in a federal grant program. All three awards funnel through the Agricultural Marketing Service, establishing the vendor's sole customer agency concentration at 100% of recent activity. The vendor's federal footprint is nascent and exclusively grant-dependent, with no recent contract activity or parent vehicle positions.
