Farms for Food Equity

Farms for Food Equity a non-profit that addresses food insecurity and the vitality of Maine farms. O Farms for Food Equity strives for a Maine free from hunger for all Mainers so that everyone is able to access and choose nutritious desirable and safe food especially farm fresh fruits vegetables and proteins. At the same time we will create greater profitability and stability for Maine farms. We serve farm businesses that seek to maximize their harvest by providing off grade off runs and first quality products to organizations that are working to solve hunger. We achieve our mission by acquiring funding for three purposes: first to purchase raw products from Maine farms and then distribute quality fresh pack or lightly processed foods through existing channels to sites for people to access food; second to support improving food distribution with dignity honor and respect for Mainers without access to quality fresh food; and finally to develop efficient processes for food harvesting processing and handling and provide training to develop skilled farming.

Our Mission Help End Hunger Maine farms grow an array and abundance of food during the growing season some might be considered offgrade meaning not retail quality yet is perfect for use by anybody just not the eyeappealing product many consumers are looking for a crooked carrot a cucumber that is a little pudgy or green beans that arent perfectly straight but they taste good and are nutritious. Farms for Food Equity purchases these hyperlocal products and with partners transports to food pantries or food sites for processing and distribution at a later date. Improve Farm Viability Farmers experience food loss and inefficiencies for many reasons. Most notably a lack of reliable market can prevent them from adequately investing in their business.
