Develop strategies to implement these goals and objectives.

A more regenerative, vibrant, and holistic food system is needed & can be achieved. One that supports food access & food sovereignty, works for farmers and farm workers, meets the needs of larger purchasers & distributors, all while considering the reduction and proper management of waste and how to incorporate a host of educational initiatives, inventory management processes, and storage facilities. A system that creates jobs, stimulates the health and well being of our community, and supports our diverse populations- granting access to farm fresh food for all.

“Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us.”
