PEI Food Strong
SOURCE TO SHELF
THREE IDEAS THAT DRIVE EVERYTHING
01
We Put Waste to Work
We start with what others overlook - rescued food, idle facilities, unused equipment, out-of-work food production workers - and build practical systems that put them back to work.
02
Community is the Engine
We don't tell Islanders what they need. We listen for it. Our founder's 23,000+ member Facebook home cooking community, her weekly columns, cooking classes and programs are how we stay connected to what's real and what we need to build.
03
Bridging the Gaps
We work between production and market, where gaps in processing, logistics, shared infrastructure and product development can stop good Island food from moving forward.
