Our Program

Making more local possible.

“More local” is a goal for all kinds of food purveyors.

But it isn’t practical for a single restaurant, store or school to manage local sourcing alone. ValleyHUB simplifies a complex system. By fueling a full social enterprise food hub in Southwest Michigan, we make it possible to get more local food on more local plates
– for the betterment of us all.

ValleyHUB is the largest network of buying and selling opportunities for local food in Southwest Michigan.
