The hub started with a board of local producers formed in 2019. Farmer members of the Southwest Washington Growers Cooperative lead the Southwest Washington Food Hub as board and committee members, technical advisors, and even in the warehouse. The hub is a product of Southwest Washington farmers wanting to help build resilient regional food systems and offer an alternative to traditional food distribution services.
We believe through partnership and collaboration, we can create new markets, achieve sustainability, and overcome barriers. By providing access to multiple producers, we can build a more consistent and broader range of products for local consumers, further driving market interest, and creating a sustainable local food system.
We are committed to delivering a high-quality, sustainable product to the growers’ immediate community, thereby reducing food miles, creating immediate economic impact, and opening market opportunities for local ag businesses, big and small.
