Greener Pastures

Our mission is to help our food system move
away from factory farming
and towards humane, sustainable, just food + farms. 

Here's how we're making it happen.

Greener Pastures is a 501c3 nonprofit based in Minneapolis, MN working to build a better food system through the power of positive visual and culinary storytelling. 

We help eaters learn about regenerative food + farms, vote with their fork to support local producers in the Upper Midwest, and take grassroots action to reshape our food policy landscape. And, we help farmers and coalition partners stories tell their stories and grow future customers + engaged communities.
