Rebuilding A Regenerative And Equitable Food System
Each day, our work at 4P Foods gets us closer to the kind of food system farmers thrive in, soil is regeneratively cared for, animals are treated humanely, and all communities have equitable access to healthy food.
Our Sourcing Standards
4P Foods sources fresh, high-quality, delicious food, prioritizing local and regional partners. We cultivate a network of growers and producers who engage in labor practices that enable people and communities to thrive, and in growing practices that actively build the soil and promote biodiversity. We source Good Food in service of creating a better food system that is equitable and regenerative, and in which all living beings are treated with respect and dignity.
4P Foods delivers food from small and mid-sized family farmers and artisans
We help our local and regional farmers thrive by providing access to new markets, customers, and communities and work to ensure all people get equitable access to the food they need.
