Vision


Eat Greater Des Moines is working toward a food system that meets your immediate needs and builds a healthier community for our future.

Values


Inventive

We trial new solutions to share and scale into sustainable, community-run practices for producing, distributing, and access food.

Empowering

We empower the community to think differently about what we eat, how our food is produced, and where we can access it. We promote equity across our network — including those who have been traditionally excluded from access to food & resources.

Humble

The people we serve are equal partners in our work and we cannot be successful without our partners.
