ABOUT US >

Our mission at the Farm to Fork Community Sustainability Alliance, Inc. is to ensure access to fresh, nutritious, and affordable food for all, particularly for food-insecure families and children. We strengthen local agriculture by supporting farmers, cottage businesses, and artisans through comprehensive business resources, commerce systems, and overall support. By fostering education on the importance of each part of food production—from seed to consumer—we empower communities to engage in sustainable practices and come together through farmers markets, community and school gardens, and home and kitchen gardens. Our commitment to environmental protection ensures clean water, healthy food, a balanced ecosystem, and protected wildlife that supports and balances this system. We prioritize the future of food through seed-saving programs, improved farming practices, and support for food growth and preparation, ensuring food can be easily consumed and desired.
