OUR GOALS

IMG_7983.JPG

The FarmFED Board meets annually to consider its strategic position and set new goals. As goals are met, new ones are identified. Current 2025 strategic goals include:

​

GOAL 1 - Ensure the Success of the Market on the Hill Pilot Project [MOTH]
GOAL ACHIEVED! - This goal was accomplished during the 1st Quarter of 2025 and will continue to be monitored through 2nd Quarter. This goal seeks to support FarmFED's mission by helping MOTH increase its baking and food prep capacity, which is currently limited due to a lack of space and equipment at its present location. 

 

GOAL 2 - Successfully Carry Out a Pilot Food Processing Initiative. Specifically: Further refine and finalize a processing system for tomatoes that results in at least 3 sellable products.
This goal will move FarmFED forward in its long-held desire to process and distribute locally grown food. A dedicated Pilot Processing Team is focused on researching, discussing, and designing this plan. This goal is ongoing.
 
GOAL 3 - Sustain existing & develop new partnerships to strengthen FarmFED's ability to achieve its mission.  

GOAL ACHIEVED! This goal was accomplished during the 1st Quarter of 2025. FarmFED determined to maintain its co-op organizational structure and to establish a fiscal sponsorship arrangement with the Logan County Economic Development Partnership, a registered 501(c)(3). For over 10 years, the LCEDP has supported FarmFED's efforts to develop a local food system. The new Fiscal Sponsorship arrangement provides FarmFED with previously unavailable opportunities, allowing the public to make tax-free donations via the LCEDP. In addition, the LCEDP can apply to grant programs to support FarmFED, which are currently unavailable because they are open only to registered not-for-profits.

​

GOAL 4 - Conduct 2025 Fundraising Campaign
FarmFED relies on its stakeholders for support in achieving its mission. Now that the new Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement with the LCEDP is in place, FarmFED is designing a 2025 Fundraising Campaign that:

  • Provides current and new Shareholders with opportunities to support FarmFED by purchasing shares.

  • Invites the public to support FarmFED with tax-deductible donations made via the Logan County Economic Development Partnership.

  • Identifies new grant program opportunities available to both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations.

  • Look for more details regarding the 2025 Fundraising Campaign this summer.

 

GOAL 5 - Further develop and enhance Community Relations - and generate additional revenue - by leveraging the commercial kitchen and offering the "up-front" space at the 108 building for food prep classes and other community activities.

​

GOAL 6 - Develop an interim kitchen manager position into a paid rather than credit-based position, with the caveat that sufficient funds are raised to do so.

 

GOAL 7 - Investigate and determine the feasibility of FarmFED staying in its building after 2026 based on the achievement of our processing goal, sales, and marketing analysis, as well as an analysis of MOTH’s desire and capability of moving their entire operation into our building.
