The ongoing pandemic is causing much revisioning of, and strategizing to strengthen the food system, both nationally, as well as locally. In light of this, a central topic of community discussion has been the creation of a regional food hub.

Food hubs are organizations or businesses that connect wholesalers, retail businesses and institutions (e.g. restaurant owners, value-added food producers) to local and regional food producers through services such as management and coordination of product aggregation, distribution, product storage, packing/copacking, bulk purchasing and marketing services.

This survey is intended to assess your current need/interest in the types of uses and benefits an organization such as a food hub may be able to provide for your business.

Thank you for your time.
