OUR MISSION

Prevent disease! Support small family farms and transparent, small batch mission driven brands!  You can shop by core value, and find products that share those same values. Soon, you'll be able to buy with your HSA/FSA (Health Savings Account). We have been building a small batch local food system since 2010 — to educate consumers about how to prevent disease, in a tangeable food product way.  We do the research — find brands that are truly doing the right thing, using clean grown ingredients and don't let big corporations buy them out or grow chemical food on their land. We know how time consuming and confusing it is to do the research — so we do that too — because we can't go back to the way things were.  Hi, we're Farm2Me.

Farm2Me is run by farmers, fishermen, ranchers, and bakers. Transparently connecting you with producers, accessibly and affordably are at the core of a successful local food model. We want everyone to be able to afford local food, like our grandparents did, by shopping from local growers and producers at the local-level, and growing or foraging heir own food.

LOCAL FOOD AND SEASONAL

Getting local food has never been easier. Instead of shipping produce across the world, Farm2Me supports local farmers to bring local food at 50% of the cost to you. Using Farm2Me's network of 34,000 local food makers, the secret is making it easier and more affordable to shop from small batch local producers -- with free delivery.

We're creating the next model at Farm2Me.  Model that can easily be replicated in thousands of communities.  One that supports local farms and small batch food makers, by making them accessible and affordable to all.

 

SUSTAINABLE MEAT, DAIRY, & EGGS

As our friend Gene Baur of Animal Sanctuary said: "If you can't convince someone to go Vegan, at least ask them to support Small Batch Sustainable Meat Production."  Our animal welfare standards are based on Cornucopia Institute ratings. We source from farms that raise their animals on pasture, using regenerative methods that give back to the planet, and we do our own home work.

FARM2ME DELIVERS

Our farmers complain how expensive it is to sell their produce to distributors for $.30 on the dollar, so we created a model where they keep $.90.  Farm2Me handles the technology, distribution, marketing, and sales — and we leave the growing to the growers.

DOCTORS & HEALTHCARE

Realigning Food & Health Education
We’re working to integrate the Farm2Me food network into hospitals, medical schools, and nutrition programs—because right now, nutrition isn’t even offered in most medical schools. If we want to fight and prevent chronic disease, we must start by teaching what we (our founders, with BS & MS in Biology and Immunology) already know.

Take DNA as an example: it’s built from sugar rings (specifically pentose sugars). Glucose found naturally in fruit is digested and converted from a Glucose (6-carbon sugar) into the 5-carbon sugar (Ribose) that forms DNA (Di-ribo-Nucleic Acid). But when you eat artificial glucose created in a lab—like the sugar packets at a diner or your mass produced bag at home (or in the food you're eating) —the body doesn’t recognize it in the same way. Natural glucose is used; fake glucose is excreted -- the body can identify the real glucose from the lab engineered one.

For diabetics, who can’t process glucose without insulin, cells are forced to substitute glucose for a 5-carbon protein (a ketone), because it still needs to make DNA. This ketone (5 carbon protein) destabilizes DNA and contributes to conditions like brain damage (ketosis - acid holes in the brain). The body will adapt, but it always prefers the real thing (glucose).

That’s why we want people—kids, parents, doctors, and the public—to learn about food at its most fundamental level. By centralizing knowledge and access through Farm2Me, we can educate and shift the system. The goal: remove chemicals, ultra-processed ingredients, lab-engineered substitutes, synthetic fertilizers, and pesticide residues from our food supply.

A Personal Reminder
Back in 1996, in 8th grade, our founder wrote a research paper comparing four (4) sweeteners—honey, lab-made sugar, Sweet’N Low, and sucralose—and their links to cancer rates. The results were alarming:

• Honey: ~8% increase in cancer risk (low)

• Lab-made sugar: ~300% increase (high)

• Sweet’N Low (protein-based): ~8,000% increase (extremely dangerous)

• Sucralose (protein-based): ~13,000% increase (even more dangerous)

That was the first time he realized just how deeply food, water, and air shape our health—and how little big food, agriculture, and pharma companies want us to know. By keeping nutrition out of schools, medical school and doctor education, they keep doctors, parents, and kids in the dark.

At Farm2Me, we’re determined to change that.

It's not just about Artificial Food Dyes, its ALL artificial parts of the food system -- from fertilizer (fake lab made soil) to pesticides (lab made pharmaceutical chemicals) or Genetically modified seeds (injected with lab made gene code), and ultraprocessed, preservative food, and all the other nonsense all the way up to the synthetic plastic packaging.  Don't let them fool you that its just 1 thing (food dye) -- its all of it!  (While they take bribes from the big ag / pharmaceutical corporations they ignore) Moving our movement from the fringe 1% to the 70% majority.  Here we come! Sorry Big Ag, and Big Pharma, and the Big Banks funding it -- not sorry.  And we're not bailing you out when you bankrupt! 

We're in 16 countries and growing, and humbled that the majority of the 90,000 brands and 20,000 press in the industry follow Farm2Me's content and direction.  IYKYK.

 

 

1929 – The Great Depression
Under Bernard Baruch, the federal government allowed the monopolization of the U.S. food system. The result: just three companies came to dominate each sector, and today roughly 85% of grocery store brands—though they appear different—are owned by the same ten holding companies, all built on the same ingredients.

1936 – Present
Since then, Farm Bills have granted up to $300 billion per year in tax breaks—but only to industrial farms and chemical labs with 500+ acres. No independent farmer or small brand qualifies. To put this in perspective: Americans spend about $700 billion annually on food. These subsidies cover nearly half of Big Ag’s profits, letting them slash prices by 50%, flood the market with chemicals and ultra-processed foods, and still get bailed out with taxpayer dollars.

Meanwhile, we—the consumers—are left footing the bill twice: first through our taxes, and then again through rising medical costs when those same foods make us sick. Small, healthy brands don’t get those subsidies. They sell food at full price without hidden taxpayer funding, and without leaving us with medical bills.

1990s - Organic Board

Driscolls, Kellogs, General Mills, and a majority of other seats of the Organic Board are replaced with these Big Ag / Pharm-Chemical companies.   They immediatly changed the standards of Organic (ie. only need to wait 5 years before they can grow food in chemical fertilizer and pesticide concentrated soil, and many other rules).  Organic label is useless!  Know your brands and farmers, or let us do the research.

The Question
Why are we allowing publicly traded Fortune 100 companies to profit at the expense of our health, our farmers, and our wallets? When it costs us the same as small batch food after taxes / bail outs / farm bills.

The Answer
We’re not letting it happen anymore.  That or then use our tax payer money to give ALL farmers -- small farms getting as much as big farms, So all food costs the same.  Or just stop subsidizing all together.  No other option!

PUBLIC AWARENESS & EDUCATION

We helped launch the Schoolyard Garden program in partnership with the Edible Schoolyard and Michelle Obama's 2012 campaign -- growing school garden education to every school district in America.  From the ghetto of the Bronx in the most underrepresented neighborhoods in NYC learning to build vertical farms via Green Bronx Machine, to rooftop farms ontop of buildings.  We've been part of it all!

Teaching consumers about the Dietary Plate (prioritizing fruit, vegetables, grains, meat, seafood, dairy, fat (evenly) vs the Food Pyramid (which prioritized Wheat / Pasta as the biggest part of the Pyramid).

GROCERY & DISTRIBUTION

Rebuilding the local food system, with warehousing, distribution, and grocery, retail, fast casual, food trucks, farms / horticulture gardens / urban community gardens, and retail to make food more accessible, convenient, affordability -- to all communities (not just the wealthiest).

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

We can't grow clean food, have clean water and air, without removing pollution and chemicals from our climate. Period.  Read above.
