What we do

Our goal is to see local food production become the norm rather than the exception.

We pursue the best means possible to help good food take firm root in the soil and fabric of our communities. Our focus is localized to New England, a reflection of the idea that good food, to paraphrase, makes good neighbors, and that good food is best addressed locally. The New England region has an iconic food heritage, from the blueberry fields of  Maine to the stone-walled farms of Connecticut, and reclaiming that legacy encourages us in our efforts.

To bring back better food we:

Work to recreate the local and regional infrastructure of food distribution to help good food move more efficiently from farm to table.

Consult to large landholders interested in farming.

Use our resources to connect interested parties, whether they are landowners, farmers, community leaders, chefs, or policy makers so chefs can find produce, landowners can use their lands for food and policy makers can make local food more plentiful.

Offer educational outreach to schools and others.

Explore, implement, document and share techniques of raising good food locally so farmers and backyard gardeners can realize greater success.

Use and promote sustainable, environmentally sound, and humane agricultural techniques.

Track economic feasibility of local food production.

Raise vegetables, greens and livestock, and add value to those raw products to make local farming more viable, and provide local food year round.

Link to projects and organizations in the region whose goals parallel ours.
