What is a Food Hub?
Connecting Food from Field to Fork
A Food Hub Strengthens Our Region’s Food System by Linking Local Farms and Producers with Local Buyers
A food hub, as defined by the USDA, is:
“a centrally located facility with a business management structure that facilitates the aggregation, storage, processing, distribution, and/or marketing of locally or regionally produced food products.”
At Oberlin Food Hub, we make that definition come to life. We purchase fresh, locally grown and produced goods from farms and makers in our region, then deliver them to:
Food banks & hunger relief programs
Independent grocery stores & co-ops
Colleges, restaurants, bakeries & cafes
Farm stores, food distributors & more
We’re excited to connect and collaborate!
