Our
Values

Healthy People

We foster health through better nutrition rooted in fresh, healthy, accessible, and locally produced foods for all residents.

Vibrant Local Economy

We strengthen the regional economy by supporting local growers, food businesses, and supply chains that create jobs and build long-term economic stability in Northeast Michigan.

Resilient Communities

We cultivate strong, connected communities by increasing collaboration, building local capacity, and ensuring equitable access to food and opportunity.
