Farm to Pantry condemns all forms of hate and violence and strikes to foster unity and healing within our communities.

Our commitment is rooted in food justice and is an integral part of our dedication to promoting justice, equity, diversity and inclusion.

As an organization, we are committed to participating in ongoing change and actively address the historical harm that has disproportionately affected Black and Brown communities, and have created under-served communities.

We are committed to authentic change through mutual care, empathy, acts of courage and allyship, understanding and health for all in our community.

We endeavor to bring our community together as farmers, landowners, community members, and volunteers to ensure access to healthy, fresh food for all.
