Our Mission

Our Mission and History

Good Earth Food Alliance

Mission Statement

To provide and promote locally grown nutritious food, a healthy environment, and to build lasting relationships with our Community Supported Agriculture members while providing economic stability to Good Earth Food Alliance farmers and producers.

 

History of Good Earth Food Alliance

Good Earth Food Alliance (GEFA) emerged from a need for small growers and producers to work collaboratively to help meet the needs of a burgeoning local food movement.  By avoiding duplication in our planting and harvesting and assisting each other through the challenges of the growing season, we aim to see more locally-produced food on plates throughout West Central Illinois.  Through a chemical-free means of growing, we produce a wide variety of fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs.  Free range eggs, honey, mushrooms, artisan breads, soups, flavored vinegars and other local products are some of the other foods we offer.
