Mission

Our mission is to partner with Virginia farmers to increase community access to local food. We provide the support services, infrastructure, and market opportunities that connect people with food grown close to home. Our vision is that the knowledge and choice of local food becomes the norm, not the exception, for all segments of the community, and that small farms have a strong economic foothold in the marketplace.

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

We live in the heart of an incredibly rich agricultural area, yet many small farmers can’t make a living, and large pockets of food insecurity and poor health still persist. Sourcing and eating food locally can go a long way toward changing this paradigm. What we do: -Provide free support services and training to farmers to ensure that they can be successful. -Run programs that increase access to fresh food for school children, low-income health patients, and other underserved populations.

Grower Services

Local Food Hub partners with more than 60 small family farmers throughout Central Virginia to increase community access to local food. While Local Food Hub believes that paying a fair price is the most important thing we can do for farmers, we also know that training, technical assistance, cost-share opportunities, and networking are all critical to helping reinstate small farms as the food source for the community.

Our Grower Services program helps partner farms learn to successfully navigate the wholesale marketplace and make their operations more financially viable. An annual workshop series focuses on farmer-chosen topics like pest management, financial planning, and season extension. Winter production planning helps farmers determine crop selection, planting selections, and price ranges so that they are able to take advantage of the “off” season and maintain a revenue stream all year long. And, regular farm visits ensure strong connections with growers and provide one-on-one guidance, assistance, and quality control.

Growers are feeling increasing pressure from buyers to meet stringent food safety standards, and new federal regulations governing farms are currently being implemented. To help growers stay ahead of the curve, Local Food Hub has developed an internal Quality Assurance Program. Growers receive training and support to create and implement customized food safety plans for their farms, and verification that they have met Local Food Hub standards.

Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) certification, a government- and industry-recognized standard in food safety, is among the highest regarded credentials available. Because the certification process is challenging and there are high costs associated with compliance, Local Food Hub offers cost-share programs and training for growers interested in becoming GAP certified. Ten Local Food Hub growers have achieved GAP in 2015, thanks to the help of our hardworking Director of Grower Services, and join a handful of farms that already hold GAP certification. Get to know all of our growers and learn more about their on-farm practices.

Fresh Farmacy

The Fresh Farmacy: Fruit and Veggie Prescription Program is a produce prescription program that provides biweekly deliveries of nutritious food items, along with educational materials to low-income, low food access households in the Charlottesville-Albemarle area. The program serves the dual purpose of supporting the local food system - all food for the program is sourced from small, independent farms in the region, and farmers are paid a fair price for their products. The educational materials include details on farm sources, a detailed description of each item, storage and preparation tips, and easy-to-follow recipes. In order to mitigate the transportation barriers that prevent many people from accessing food, shares are delivered directly to participant houses. Participants are enrolled for a year. Program impact is measured through annual surveys and end-of-year focus groups.
A Fresh Farmacy bag includes 8-12 locally-sourced items, in quantities large enough to supplement the diet

No-Cost Farm Stands

In 2022, Local Food Hub launched a series of no-cost farm stands in low-income, low food access communities. Each farm stand supports up to 125 households by providing them with fresh produce, chicken, eggs, and value-added goods, along with educational resources,

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

-A new population of eaters connected to where their food comes from
-Reductions in diet-related diseases and improvements in public health
-New markets for the very smallest of this region’s family farms
-A system where farmers, customers, and the community are connected to one another and to the source of their food
-The efficient movement of food from small farms to the wholesale marketplace, and to those who need it most
-Sustainable land stewardship, enhanced public health, and a vibrant local economy
-Financial sustainability for Virginia’s small family farms
-Adoption of best practices and sustainable farming techniques
-Greater safety, transparency, nutrition, and taste in the region’s food supply

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

-Partnership: Local Food Hub works with every farm on production planning, marketing, food safety, product development, and more.
-Planning: Local Food Hub works year-round with its partner farms to help them plan crop selection, quantities, and price ranges so that they can maximize their investments and feel secure about their place in the market.
-Health: Partnering with area health clinics, Local Food Hub supplies free produce “prescriptions” to patients who are at risk for certain diet-related illnesses, along with recipes and cooking classes.
-Schools: Local Food Hub works with City Schoolyard Garden and Charlottesville City Schools on a monthly fresh snack program. It also works with nutrition directors in eight regional school districts, as well as private schools and universities, on local sourcing for their cafeterias.
-Hunger: Local Food Hub donates or supplies thousands of pounds of produce each year to area food banks and hunger relief organizations so that fresh, local food makes its way into feeding programs for those most in need.
-Safety: Local Food Hub has assisted 15 of its partner farms to achieve Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) certification, a government- and industry-recognized standard in food safety that is among the highest regarded credentials available.
-Quality: Local Food Hub has developed an internal Quality Assurance Program to help farmers navigate changes in food regulation and the demands of the wholesale marketplace.
-Quality: Local Food Hub maintains Good Handling Practices certification for its warehouse, an industry- and government-recognized standard in food safety that is among the highest regarded credentials available.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Local Food Hub has a well-qualified and experienced staff, as well as 10 years experience working with small farms and wholesale buyers. Due to our position in the food system, we are uniquely situated to work with all key groups to increase access to local food and support small family farmers.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

Since our founding in 2009, we have:

-reinvested approximately 10M in the local economy
-partnered with 75+ local farmers and producers
-distributed food to hundreds of schools, grocery stores, restaurants, and more, throughout Virginia and into DC and Maryland
-worked with 7 health clinics to provide food access and education to hundreds of vulnerable community members and their families
-provided local food to thousands of Virginia schoolchildren through Farm to School and Harvest of the Month
-assisted 15 farms in attaining Good Agricultural Practices through technical support and cost-share
-provided farms throughout Virginia with critical food safety, technical, and planning support
-As of June 2019, merged distribution operations with a mission-aligned food hub in Northern Virginia, 4P Foods, promoting the development of a more efficient and sustainable food distribution network.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
