What We Do
The Washtenaw Food Hub (WFH) is a community-driven venture founded in 2011 with a mission to support local farms and small business, educate the surrounding community, and enhance accessibility to local food.
Our Objectives
Community
We support and supply resources for farm and food businesses prioritizing economic, social, and environmental well-being.
Empowering Farmers
Increasing income opportunities for farmers and creating new revenue streams for food producers.
Access to Healthy Food
Ensuring year-round availability of locally sourced food.
Entrepreneurship
Bolstering small businesses and stimulating job opportunities within the local economy.
Agricultural Education
Developing unique educational opportunities emphasizing the interconnectedness of agroecology, community connection, and healthy food.
To fulfill these goals, we’ve thoughtfully renovated existing facilities, transforming them into professionally managed spaces. Our offerings include commercially licensed processing kitchens, storage rental space, Sunflower Farm Market, events and educational programs, and ecological demonstration projects.
Several factors underscore the timeliness and economic viability of the Washtenaw Food Hub. Rising fuel prices, growing consumer demand for local food, and widespread community and institutional support for sustainable food production initiatives all contribute to our momentum.
