Food Sovereignty begins with farmer support.
Food sovereignty is one of three guiding nonprofit initiatives that make up our mission here at the Kearsarge Food Hub.
Earth Love at the Sweet Beet
One of our core values at the Sweet Beet is promoting the health and vitality of the Earth. We do this through environmentally restorative measures of our own, and also by partnering with producers that intentionally practice sustainability in a variety of ways, from farming methods to packaging choices.
Community Care through Food Security and Access!
This past summer the Kearsarge Food Hub put out some feelers in the community for a donation of a refrigerator. We wanted to experiment with having a community fridge on the porch here at the Sweet Beet, to stock with fresh local foods for neighbors to access any time.
Taking Climate Action through Food
Climate change and environmental degradation have been prevalent topics of discussion throughout the course of many of our lives.
What is Food Sovereignty?
Here at the Kearsarge Food Hub, our mission is to reinvigorate our community within a restorative local food system through cultivating food sovereignty, growing engaged learners, and nurturing community. This mission is a new iteration of what we’ve been working toward over the past five years, with the notable addition of the term food sovereignty.
Taking Care in 2021
If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that uncertainty is the new normal.
Developing a Food Hub Network In New Hampshire
We know that to work toward greater food and farm security for the Kearsarge area, we must work in partnership with statewide and regional food system efforts.
The Power of Local Food Systems
As summer memories fade and fall shines bright outside our windows, we reflect on last August’s NH Eats Local. The Kearsarge Food Hub, New Hampshire Food Alliance, and many other organizations spent the month championing the wonderful web of local food that New Hampshire has to offer.
