Are you a food hub or thinking of creating one?
Are you interested in supplying one or buying from one?
Want to know how hubs have significant positive impacts on communities?


The USDA worked with the Wallace Center, its National Good Food Network, the National Association for Produce Market Managers and Project for Public Spaces to study food hubs and create this recently released Regional Food Hub Guide.

The guide presents a series of key questions about the current state of food hub development and examples from operating food hubs. It also outlines the role that food hubs can play in regional food systems; their innovative business models; and their economic contributions to local communities. It describes dozens of funding opportunities and other resources, best practices, and additional strategies for anyone interested in developing regional food hubs.

“It is a truly wonderful resource!” – Sona Desai, Food Hub Manager, Intervale Center, VT
