Route 1

Route 1 is an early stage social enterprise that works to increase food access, specifically within communities of color. We do that by supporting and empowering Black, Brown and Indigenous Emerging Farmers. So in essence, we support Farmers who are growing nutrient dense, culturally relevant food in hopes that they will be able to (a) run a profitable farm enterprise and (b) provide quality food for their community. We believe that there are significant health outcomes that can be positively influenced by ensuring that communities of color have access to regeneratively grown food sources. Our work also inspires us to introduce urban youth to regenerative agriculture and create pathways for education and careers in agricultural production and processing.
