Our Mission We are neighbors nourishing neighbors collaborating to build a strong food safety-net in the Hudson Valley. As a food access nonprofit, we celebrate food and community for all. Our Values High-quality nourishing food is a human right. We reduce barriers between people and food. As much as possible, Fareground food is local, organic, and reflects what we and our neighbors want to eat. -Solidarity, not charity. We feed our neighbors through mutual aid, collaboration, and partnerships. -Compassion and community care. We respect our neighbors’ dignity and treat each other with kindness and respect. -Inclusivity and equity. We honor our community and all of its members, regardless of age, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, ability, religious beliefs, political beliefs, education levels, or socioeconomic class. -Challenging systems of oppression. We recognize that true inclusivity and caring means recognizing, interrupting, and dismantling injustice built into our institutions and culture. We are actively feminist and anti-racist. We continuously examine privilege and disparities and disrupt these whenever possible. -Environmental sustainability, local agriculture, and waste prevention. We maintain the utmost respect for our environment, and do things as ecologically soundly as possible. We recycle, compost, and avoid disposables to prevent waste. We work with local farms and organizations to secure donations or affordable food. Our Vision Nourishing food and community for all
