About
Our Mission
We are changemakers that strengthen connections between farms and communities so that all Coloradans have equitable access to fresh, nutritious foods.
Our Vision
Fresh and local foods enrich the health and vibrancy of all Colorado communities.
Our Guiding Values
1. Access to nourishing food is a basic human right.
2. A person’s ability to feed themselves and their households all the nourishing food they want should not be determined by economic conditions, race or ethnicity, or where they live.
3. Food systems must be transformed to work best for those who have been and are intentionally marginalized in order to create lasting and sustainable change for all.
Our Commitments
Including the voices and elevating the roles of those that our work aims to benefit
Seeking the knowledge, guidance, and partnership of local, state, and national organizations
Employing solutions that are informed by research evidence as well as by community
Testing and trying new solutions
Being adaptive and responsive in our work
Working ourselves out of our jobs
Ensuring that our decisions, actions, and allocation of resources contribute to an equitable, multicultural, and multiracial society with distributed and shared power
