Everyone deserves good food.
We make it happen.
We make it happen.
HDFFA is made up of dedicated individuals that are passionate about our mission.
Much like a food system – an interconnected web of human activities that gets food from the farm to your plate – our team works in collaboration with each other. This includes our staff, board of directors, and advisory committee members. As part of our culture and our mission, we integrate diversity, equity and inclusion to both foster a resilient food system and promote a culture of belonging and dignity. We operate with open and inquisitive minds so that, together, we can grow and flourish with our community.
We encourage everyone to become leaders in our food system.
