Overview
Mission
We are creating more sustainable and equitable food systems in the Greater Washington, DC area through [1] installing & maintaining productive farms within communities, [2] distributing fresh nutrient-dense produce to food insecure individuals, and [3] educating and hiring individuals from food insecure communities to lead food system transformation.
What it reported doing in 2024
Distributing locally-grown produce to community partners, including food pantries, restaurants, and direct-to-consumer channels.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and liabilities are high compared with assets.
