We collaborate with individuals, organizations and faith communities that share our vision.

Justice We strive for fairness and equity in food systems, advocatiing for farmers' rights, fair returns, and access to nutritious food for all.
Community We build relationships that connect people of faith with food and farming systems, fostering solidarity among diverse communities.
Faith We ground our work in spiritual traditions that call us to love others, care for creation, seek justice and feed the hungry.
Education We empower individuals and communities with knowledge about sustainable agriculture, food justice, and the interdependence of all life.
Integrity We act with transparency, accountability, respect, and honesty in all our program initiatives and relationships.
