Our Mission
Farmshed’s mission is to grow a resilient local food economy.
​
We partner with family and cooperatively owned farms and local food businesses throughout the region to:
​
-
Ensure everyone in our community can choose healthy and delicious food.
-
Provide fun ways to enjoy food grown in central Wisconsin throughout the year.
-
Demonstrate growing practices that are good for our water and soil.
-
Launch new businesses, and encourage all businesses to source ingredients locally.
​​
Our goals are two-fold:
​
1) Expand our programs to ensure everyone in our community can choose healthy locally grown food.
2) Ensure more farm-to-table farms and small food based businesses thrive in central Wisconsin.
