Local Farms
Farmers
Local small-scale produce farmers in Montgomery County face many challenges ranging from land access, to labor shortages and insufficient agricultural infrastructure, making it difficult for small farms, particularly historically marginalized growers, to become sustainable.
Communities
People and communities facing barriers experience a disproportionate higher risk of diet related chronic disease due to lack of healthy food access
Planet
The impact of agriculture and food systems is clear. Industrial food production is a major driver of climate change and the destruction of nature, accounting for nearly one-third of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, 90% of land-use change and 70% of water use globally.
Local, sustainable food production can help offset these impacts.
Why We Exist
We work to build a connected, thriving, local food system by increasing access to nutritious local foods, building farmer capacity, and improving the health and nutrition of our local communities.
