OUR MISSION

We grow top-quality organic produce and flowers to donate to local people experiencing hunger and needing joy, demonstrate sustainable growing methods, and create lasting connections on the farm and beyond.

OUR STORY

It all started with a move from Paris to Maine, some land, a need, and a lot of hard work. Veggies to Table is the result of a dream and idea based on the unfortunate reality of hunger prevalent in Maine today and wanting to provide all local folks access to food justice.

Veggies to Table was founded to bring healthy nutrient dense produce to the tables of hungry community members—a deep-rooted need not being fully met by other local initiatives. We are committed to bringing normalcy and dignity to individuals and families who have lost control over that most basic of choices and decisions—what to eat.

Our passion for farming, equity, and social justice brings our produce to groups of disparate socio-economic and cultural backgrounds through such organizations as pantries, schools, summer lunch programs, and hospitals. We are fortunate to have a wonderful group of volunteers, some who receive our produce and flowers, on the farm working together for the greater good of the community.

After consulting with food security initiatives in our community, we aim to complement and supplement other local efforts—filling the gaps by growing and donating nutritious, top-quality, and culturally appropriate crops for our recipients. We work with a network of over 35 local partners who distribute our produce and flowers to those in need in our community.

We help restore dignity to those who have lost one of the most basic life functions—the ability to feed themselves. The goal? Universal access to nutritious, affordable, and culturally appropriate food for everyone.

Additionally, in an aging population where many people face isolation, Veggies to Table’s hope is that we can help break this lonely cycle. With our diverse volunteer community everyone is welcome. People of every age, belief, and background can meet, connect, and create lasting relationships right here on the farm.
