OUR VALUES

SHAPE THE TRENDS

INNOVATION, CREATIVITY, LEADERSHIP

We do things that others can’t, won’t, or haven’t thought of yet. We identify unmet needs and opportunities. We are curious, creative, and driven to define the cutting edge of the Good Food Movement.

MOVE THE NEEDLE

QUALITATIVE & QUANTITATIVE IMPACT

We achieve meaningful results by setting clear goals, tracking our progress, evaluating outcomes, and learning from experience. We seek progress, not perfection. When something isn’t working, we recognize it, adapt, and move forward.

TALK STRAIGHT & FOLLOW THROUGH

HONESTY, TRUST, INTEGRITY

We tell it like it is, and we let others know where we stand. Buzzwords don’t drive positive change; authenticity does. We foster trust among our team, partners, program participants, and the broader community. We make good on our commitments.

GROW OPPORTUNITY, TOGETHER

EQUITY, ACCESS, COLLABORATION

We cultivate genuine friendships and partnerships to advance our mission; no one can build a movement alone. We recognize that the Good Food Movement is not as inclusive or equitable as it should be, so we strive to create and expand opportunities for underserved and underrepresented people and communities in all that we do.
