We want to provide local food to the local community. By investing in our local economy, we are ensuring our investments benefit our community while increasing our own accountability. Furthermore, this will reduce our impact on the environment and ensure that our food is fresh.
We want our food supply to be environmentally sustainable - cultivated in a manner protects agricultural land and environmental resources for future generations.
The production of agricultural goods is crucial to the livelihood of a significant portion of the world population. Unfortunately, most agricultural workers are unfairly compensated - leaving them at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder. We aim to source our food from organizations that adhere to policies that ensure fairness for producers.
We believe that community-driven, transparent, democratic organizatons empower their members to enact social change and ultimately produce a better product.
