We Love What We Do ...
...Support a small church to help stock good food for the community
Through our working arm, Good Natured Family Farms, we assisted the small store through a series of grants, matches, and food donations.
Our team worked with Bishop Glenn to garner other community support, such as brokering a partnership between Balls Food/ Price Chopper to donate its food overages to Bishop Glenn’s Harvest Learning Center Market in the impoverished community of Ivanhoe in Kansas City Mo.
...Work with our local farmers to grow and prosper
Good Natured Family Farms (GNFF)
​
We want nothing more than to live on the land and farm it. We want to produce food that doesn't poison the earth or the groundwater. We want to use methods that make that food safe and preserve the land for future generations of farmers.
There are over 100 family farms and small businesses in our GNFF alliance, and we are growing regionally. Some of our farmers are new, and some are 3rd or 4th generation stewards of the land and who raise their animals humanely and sustainably for the best care of the earth.
...Help strengthen communities throughout the Heartland
The Food Conservancy is proud to be a recipient of the Heartland Center Business Builder Grant to support small, mid-sized, and diverse food and farm entrepreneurs.
Projects funded through the HRFBC will further the Center’s vision of making the region a place where locally produced food will be a major contributor to a resilient and safe food supply through regional networks that make local food an easy, everyday choice, supporting healthy people, community economies, and sustainable ecosystems.
We are honored to work with many benevolent agencies
