As a Community Development Corporation, our mission of ENFB is to alleviate hunger in USDA Food Desert districts across America by soliciting, collecting, hydroponically growing, and packaging food for distribution through a network of agencies and programs, as well as provide opportunities for partial self-sufficiency and financial sustainability provided by a unique collaboration of a Food Bank, a Farmers Market and a Hydroponic Facility all under one roof, supporting each other, managed by a new farm family, decreasing the dependency on federal grant and foundation funding, revising the American Food Bank Business Model while creating a new American Farm Business Model. Our vision is to develop educational opportunities within our community in STEM youth related curriculums and family nutritional programs to promote healthy food choices while consuming locally growth food products.
