Our Goals

The Farm Goal 1, 2 and 3

Eats EATS initiative is an urban agricultural project that aims to create community-owned and operated four-season farms and food distribution systems in urban neighborhoods.

Goal 1

Basis Foods Farm to Chef

“Farm to Chef is not a typical distributor. We are a service provider that helps to bring together small and mid-size farmers with the growing number of wholesale customers (including chefs, retailers, and institutions) who want to buy the traditional, localized and 100% traceable food that they produce.”

Goal 1, 2 and 3

Green Seal “Green Seal is a non-profit organization that uses science-based programs to empower consumers, purchasers and companies to create a more sustainable world.”
