KAISER BRIDGE HEALTH INSURANCE

It wasn’t until the mandated Affordable Care Act that farmer Joe Reynolds first enrolled in a health insurance program, after seven years of farming.

And it really got him thinking: how do farmers get a benefits package they may find at a more traditional job?  One that will allow them to stay healthy, save for retirement, and most importantly manage risk in their businesses by protecting the farms most important asset: the farmer?

“When I started farming, I wasn’t considering health insurance,” remembers Joe. “But now I know it is an important tool for farmers looking to start and sustain their businesses.”

A note from the Farmer Services team at Georgia Organics on farmer healthcare

We believe every farmer in Georgia deserves access to affordable, quality healthcare, regardless of where they live or work. Currently, the Kaiser Bridge Program is available only in counties where Kaiser operates. Despite our efforts, along with our partners at Kaiser, to expand the program, they are unable to provide coverage outside their service area.

If you are a farmer in one of the 23 metro Atlanta counties, you may qualify for the Bridge Program. You can learn about the coverage area and other eligibility requirements by reviewing the 2025 brochure.

We are committed to creating a system where farmers are not at risk of losing their businesses or livelihoods due to unexpected medical expenses. In the meantime, if you're facing medical hardships, we encourage you to apply for direct cash assistance through The Farmer Fund.
