Farmers and ranchers working together
There is no sole owner of the Yellowstone Valley Food Hub. We are a group of 13 (and growing!) area farmers and ranchers working together to increase access to delicious, quality local food year round. YVFH has been many years in the making. Northern Plains Resource Council initially brought together these producers with various backgrounds to discuss the barriers to selling direct to customers. With passion, a wide range of skills, and many hours spent together, our cooperative organization was cultivated.
We got our start with the generous help of Northern Plains and raised $100,000 in 2018 with donations ranging from $5 to $20,000. This helped us hire a general manager and launch our online local food marketplace. Three years and a global pandemic later and we are selling more local food than ever before and bringing on additional local farmers and ranchers' products. But our fundraising is not over. In 2021 and 2022 we hope to expand our warehouse, increase our staff, open a retail space, and maximize our delivery capabilities. All to provide a better service to our farmers and ranchers and even greater access to fresh healthy food on your plate! We still need to raise another $60,000 in 2021 to meet those goals. Please consider donating today and help create a robust regional food system.
The success of this project relies on support from our community. Every donation, no matter how small, allows our farmers and ranchers the opportunity to get the fruits of their labor directly to your family's table.
