Healthy food, thriving local farms, and the leaders to sustain both.
We connect local farmers with the restaurants, schools, and institutions that feed the community — widening access to healthy food where it's hardest to get, while strengthening small farms and food businesses and growing the leaders who keep it going.
What we're building
Two sides of one system, held together: connect local farmers with the businesses and institutions that can buy from them, so fresh produce and meat reach communities where healthy food is hard to get — and grow the local leaders, farms, and small food businesses that keep those pathways running. We start in southern New Hampshire and build to replicate anywhere. Underneath it all is a promise most organizations won't make — radical financial transparency.
Most nonprofits report their finances once a year, in a document almost no one reads. We do the opposite. Our books are live and public, so anyone — a neighbor, a donor, a skeptic, a reporter — can see exactly where the money goes, anytime, without asking.
Our programs, as we grow
We're starting small and founder-funded — in southern New Hampshire first — building each piece in the open.
