FOODSHED ALLIANCE A NJ NONPROFIT CORPORATION

HOPE, NJ

    • Mission

    The Foodshed Alliance is a nonprofit organization in Northern NJ, that helps farmers, feeds people and protects the environment. Through the impact of our programing, we are devoted to: increasing farmland access and business viability for farmers; rescuing surplus foods from local farms and donating it to people facing food insecurity; and protecting the environment for everyone in our communities. We believe that the future of our health, our land, and our communities depends greatly on the viability of local farms. It is this conviction that drives us to work, with farmers, consumers, agricultural professionals, and community partners to rebuild a healthy “foodshed” that supports farmers, nourishes people, respects the land, and strengthens our communities.

    About Us

    Through our programs, the Foodshed Alliance focuses on increasing farmland access and business viability for farmers while rescuing surplus foods from local farms to donate to those in need. Additionally, through the Paulins Kill Watershed Community, we unite stakeholders to ensure the health and safety of our waters.

    We believe that the future of our health, land, water, and communities hinges on collective efforts to strengthen our food systems and support those who grow our food. That's why we collaborate with farmers, government entities, universities, agricultural professionals, and community partners to build a healthy foodshed that benefits everyone.
