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.
