Our Foundation
At Fattoria Community Foundation, our mission is to cultivate a thriving, resilient community by serving as a dynamic hub where farmers, ranchers, and agricultural producers connect directly with consumers and institutional buyers. We are dedicated to fostering sustainable agriculture, bolstering local economies, and ensuring access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food for all.
Through education, collaboration, and innovation, we aim to strengthen the bonds between producers and consumers, promote a healthier and more sustainable food system, and celebrate the richness and diversity of our local bounty. Together, we are building a future where agriculture thrives, communities flourish, and everyone has a place at the table.
Farmers and food producers face limited market access, unpredictable income, and insufficient infrastructure to scale their operations. Meanwhile, underserved communities struggle with access to fresh, healthy, affordable food.
