About Us

Meet our award-winning team

We’ve been in this business for over a decade, and have built an organization predicated on constant refinement and relentless growth.

WE UNITE ON OUR COMMITMENT TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITIES STRONGER.

We’re always collaborating, educating ourselves and each other while building epic projects in our amazing communities. We power through intense strategy sessions, pool our collective brainpower to conceptualize innovative solutions, support each other when it’s crunch time, and come back the next day to do it all over again. Building a local food system is not for the faint of heart. We approach every challenge with an exploratory mindset and an eye on the long term. We don’t have easy, pre-written solutions to the challenges we face; we have a constantly evolving, highly rigorous, and interdisciplinary framework for solving problems – and it works, because we build partnerships with folks who know a lot, and grow a lot.
