Active in Western Colorado, Valley Food Partnership serves at the intersection of local agriculture, food, the economy, and health with a vision of a resilient regional food system that sustains the land, producers, and healthy communities. Your support helps strengthen these connections.
"I AM INVOLVED WITH THE VALLEY FOOD PARTNERSHIP BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE ROLE THAT LOCAL FOODS PLAY IN CULTURE, ECONOMY, LAND USE, HEALTH AND ATTITUDE OF THE VALLEY COMMUNITY."
- Stu Krebs
Valley Food Partnership connects local agriculture and local people across the Western Slope through education, access, technical assistance, and community building. We envision a resilient regional food system that sustains the land, producers, and healthy communities.
Before the formation of the Valley Food Partnership, the Western Colorado Food and Agriculture Council (WCFAC) was established in 2007 in the North Fork Valley of Colorado to work on agricultural issues and support the local farmers of the Western Slope.
Valley Food Partnership (VFP) formed in 2011 under the Montrose Community Foundation. Then in 2012, we merged with WCFAC into a non-profit doing business as Valley Food Partnership. Since 2011, we have been committed to support local farmers and ranchers and promoting community health. Over time our programs have evolved with the changing landscape of the food system and input from the community.
