Since 2015, the board and members of Poudre Valley Community Farms, A Land Cooperative, have been working to keep farmland in our community and connect farmers to that land with affordable, long-term leases. In the course of that work, they realized that, while essential, farmland and farmers are just one part of a vibrant local food economy. PVCF has thus led the creation of the Northern Colorado Foodshed Project to achieve that broader goal.

Though PVCF has been instrumental in the launch of the Foodshed Project, it is an independent entity run by its own board of directors. We are still building that board, but intend for it to be made up of a variety of stakeholders from across the local food system. If you are interested in helping out, contact us!
