Value Chain

Procurement Services

We help your organization, food business, school or program source high-quality, locally-grown produce. Whether you need end-to-end support or assistance with specific steps, we can help provide solutions.

Get Started

By collaborating with local producers, we ensure access to fresh, sustainably produced food while supporting our community’s agricultural economy. Our Value Chain team supports you with services ranging from recommending local producers to purchasing and logistics.

Reasons to Source Locally

Know Your Food: Understanding how and where your food is grown allows you to make informed decisions that align with your values and meet your health goals.

Strengthen Your Local Economy: Supporting local farmers keeps your investment in our community and helps ensure the sustainability of local agricultural businesses.

Foster Connection: By sourcing from local growers, you create relationships that enhance your connection to your food and the people who grow it.
