FamilyFarmed

Our Mission Values:

• Build public and private partnerships that support the growth of regional food systems that benefit farmers, consumers and businesses.

• Increase local and sustainable/organic food sales in the region to create new jobs, sustainable economic development and rural revitalization.

• Preserve our farmland through the development of high-value markets that give regional producers a fair price for their crops and encourage them to stay on their land.

• Advocate for access to healthy and affordable food for all people and communities.

• Encourage transparency in the food production and distribution process.

• Respect and understand differences between urban and rural cultures and begin to bridge this divide through dialogue and economic opportunity.

• Build solid relationships between stakeholders including staff, consultants, board members, businesses, NGOs, policymakers, media and consumers.

• Foster a work environment that values and recognizes individual contribution to the organization.

• Model a work style of collaboration and collegiality.

• Practice high standards of accountability, responsiveness and transparency in all relationships with funders, clients, partners, associates and employees.
