Introducing the Wallace Center

The Wallace Center supports entrepreneurs and communities as they build a new, 21st century food system that is healthier for people, the environment, and the economy.
Our role is four-fold:
  • We build links in the growing and diverse network of food and farm innovators with events and communications that bring participants together.
  • We strengthen this network by gathering information from it and sharing participants’ learning through the network and with policy makers.
  • We prime the pump of change by monitoring the emergence of useful models and helping others adopt or adapt them.
  • We work to bring financial resources and other capacity-building support to good-food innovators.

Grass Run Farm - Local aggregation business for niche beef

www.grassrunfarm.com

We're farmers. We're a meat company. We are local foods.

At Grass Run Farm, we offer our region's best 100% grass-fed beef. We also market all-natural confinement-free "Fresh Air" pork. 
It's our responsibility to find sustainable markets for these products so that our local food system grows and flourishes, from the farmer to the consumer. We manage an inventory of both wholesale and retails cuts for food co-ops, restaurants, families, and institutions, alike.
