Our Vision:
Food production is part of all family cultures.
Our mission:
to raise the caring capacity of communities and resilience of our local environments
through resident education in organic backyard farming.
You’re in a foodshed!?!
Foodshed is an adaptation of a 1929 concept: watershed. It describes the movement
of food from production to consumption. In the global food system, foodsheds are
defined by scale, from the global foodshed to local foodsheds. FoodShed Productions,
a small, yet, high-impact social enterprise is named for its’ drive to build the
local foodshed.
So how does FoodShed Productions work?
“We Build, We Coach, You Keep Growing” - our motto, core service, and explanation
of how FoodShed Productions operates. Together or alone, we design-build a garden
to meet economic, environmental and palate constraints of residents. We coach furture
producers through the fundamentals of organic food production. You keep growing as
a producer every season with FoodShed Productions, your coach, on call.
