It is up to us to decide which stories motivate our behavior, which stories build our future. Values are stories about what matters to us - and they are the heart of our strength.

Shared values can transcend our politics, our differences, and our conflicts, giving us the tools we need to transition to a more just food system where everyone is empowered to access healthy food, where farmers are supported and the land is nourished, and where all neighbors share a common sense of place.

Like the four directions of a compass, our core values will guide us in building a the vibrant future our children deserve:

• Collaborative Stewardship

• Inclusive Engagement

• Conscientious Innovation

• Joyful Renewal
