Food Hubs Across America
177 regional food hubs — businesses that aggregate, distribute, and market source-identified food products from local and regional producers. The infrastructure that connects small farms to schools, hospitals, restaurants, and grocery stores.
What's a food hub?
A food hub is the missing middle in local food systems. They buy from dozens of small farms, aggregate the supply, and sell to institutional buyers who can't deal with 50 individual farmers. If you're a small farm trying to scale beyond direct-to-consumer, finding your regional food hub is one of the most important moves you can make.
