Our Impact
We envision a healthy local food system that is thriving, environmentally sustainable, and equitable for all. This means:
-
Farmers (and farm-workers) have the resources and knowledge they need to succeed, thrive, and farm safely.
-
Farmland is accessible to all who seek it out.
-
Consumers take pride in their local agriculture, know their farmers, appreciate the value of their local food system, and have the confidence to prepare and cook anything they bring home.
-
All consumers, regardless of race, income, area of residence, etc. have reliable access to healthy, local food.
-
Food waste is reduced to zero, and soil is kept healthy, biodiverse, and nutrient-rich today and for generations to come.

At GoFarm, we use a system approach to strengthen and transform our local food system (how local food gets from the farm to your plate, and everything in between). We focus on:
-
How we grow our food: Increasing supply of sustainably-grown food by supporting local farmers and training and mentoring beginning farmers.
-
How we distribute our food: Meeting demand by offering a a full season of local food to community members and increasing awareness on the importance of local food.
-
Who can access and afford our food: Expanding food security by ensuring that healthy food is affordable and accessible those struggling to keep healthy food on the table.
