Food Hubs

Food hubs are centralized organizations or facilities that connect local farmers and producers with consumers, businesses, and institutions. They streamline the process of buying, selling, and distributing fresh, local food, often offering aggregated products in larger quantities. By doing so, food hubs support local economies, improve supply chain efficiency, and increase access to healthy, locally-sourced foods. They may operate as cooperatives, nonprofits, or for-profit entities, and often provide additional services like marketing, packaging, and logistics to help small producers reach broader markets effectively.
