San Luis Valley Local Foods Coalition

To foster an equitable local food system that restores the health of the people, community, economy, & ecosystem.

The San Luis Valley Local Foods Coalition (SLVLFC) has held equity and justice in its core values since its founding. We are prioritizing equity and seeking new ways to actualize these values in our practices.

The SLVLFC acknowledges that it stands on the shoulders of many ancestors, some who caused healing and some who caused harm.

We recognize that this country was stolen from indigenous people and built upon the backs of enslaved people. We seek to create a place of equity led by the voices of the people both present and past.

We stand before you ready to listen to the many voices of those who suffer at our capitalistic, colonialist culture; we are ready to examine our work and change our ways, admitting we participate in this oppressive culture.

Our staff, board, farmers, and stakeholders conducted a deep process in winter to evaluate our operations, study best practices, and incorporate these lessons in everything we do.
