What is a food hub?
A food hub, as defined by the USDA, is “a centrally located facility with a business management structure facilitating the aggregation, storage, processing, distributions, and/or marketing of locally/regionally produced food products.”
Our food hub buys food products from farms and producers in our region and sells them to food banks, grocery stores, colleges, restaurants, bakeries, co-ops, farm stores, other food distributors, and more!
If you are interested in purchasing locally grown and produced products, or you’d like to learn more about food hubs, or there’s some other reason that you want to reach out, we’d be delighted to connect!
Today, our food system aggregates crops from large farms and ships it far way from their communities, while cities adjacent to farmland import these crops from communities nationally and globally.
Everyone benefits from local food and local dollars staying within the community!
This creates unbalanced economic gains for our farmers, buyers and communities at-large.
