About Fair Food Matters
Fair Food Matters was founded in 2001 because the people of our community deserve information that helps us make good choices about how we feed ourselves. Today we are forging new community relationships as well as expanding our message and our programs.
Our mission: To improve access to healthy, local food by educating, connecting, and empowering the Kalamazoo community.
Our vision: We envision thriving communities growing and distributing safe, nutritious, locally produced foods that foster healthy communities, environments, and economies.
