Mission Statement
Community Food Collaborative is an agriculture and education organization with a mission to transform community health, wealth and vitality by strengthening relationships to food and farming.
About This Cause
We fulfill our mission to transform community health, wealth and vitality through farm-based education and community health programs. Our programs aim to address non-medical factors that support healthy individuals and communities like childhood education, healthy, beautiful and safe environment, and access to good jobs and healthy food. Food and farming affect every aspect of our lives, but for many of us, our connections to them have been broken. From seed to sale, we see every plant we grow as an opportunity to heal and nourish our schools, homes and communities. Our farms are living laboratories where youth apply academic content while cultivating social, emotional and intellectual skills. Families are empowered to eat, learn and grow together through the experience of nutritious, delicious fresh food right in their own neighborhood. Our unique model of collaborative education and healthy place-making is made possibel through deep partnerships with our local publisc school systems, state and local conservation districts, local financial institutions, and with our local business community. This collaborative spirit along with our values for inclusive, healthy and inviting open spaces are embodied through our main farming project, Cornerstone Community Farm. Cornerstone Farm, is an economic and agricultural collaboration that supports our community’s health, wealth, and vitality through public education, sustainable food production, job creation and environmental stewardship. The farm is a living laboratory where education and entrepreneurial opportunity intersect to promote community health and raise a new generation of proud young farmers, scholars and business leaders.
