FoodChain
FoodChain works to forge links between community and fresh food with education and demonstration of sustainable food systems.
FoodChain’s partnership in Kentucky is in the heart of Lexington’s Fayette County. Widely considered the Horse Capital of the World, Fayette County is located in the heart of central Kentucky’s Bluegrass region and is the county seat of Lexington. The spirit of collaboration in this community has forged robust links between local food access and culinary innovation, and partnerships with food-focused organizations including FoodChain and FoodCorps. This collaboration will support the district’s goal of modeling a more resilient food system.
FoodChain is a nonprofit organization increasing access to locally sourced, fresh food for everyone. For the past 12 years, they have partnered with local communities to empower people to love food with innovative methods of direct food access, unique and accessible food literacy programming, and a one-of-a-kind indoor aquaponic farm.
