Active in Western Colorado, the Valley Food Partnership serves as an 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
Connecting local agriculture and local people
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 then, our work has strengthened the regional food system and community well-being through education, access to quality local foods, and promotion of sustainable agricultural practices.
