Good food. Stronger community.
Local food, moving the way it should — and edible surplus feeding people, not landfills.
Connecting Duval County's farms, restaurants, and food recovery — starting in Riverside.
Connecting Duval County's farms, restaurants, and food recovery — starting in Riverside.
Food grown local, cooked and served, and what's left over sorted by what it is — surplus fed to people first, and only true scraps composted back to the farms.
We prep for a busy night that doesn't come, and good food hits the bin by close.
Small local growers waste produce they can't move fast enough to a kitchen.
The food and the need sit within the same few miles — just never connected.
Not all leftover food is the same. Sorting it by type decides where it can safely go.
Untouched produce and sealed items. Safe, high-volume — the easy lane, and it feeds people.
Strict temperature rules apply. Some is recoverable with the right handling; much of it becomes compost.
Trimmings and anything that can't safely feed a person. It still has a use.
Feed people first, compost the rest. That's the order the EPA's Wasted Food Scale prioritizes. Food donors are protected by the federal Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act and Florida Statute 768.136.
diverted by Orange County, North Carolina's commercial food-waste program across 64 participating businesses — proof a municipal program scales.
diverted in a single year by one committed restaurant — what one kitchen can do when it sorts and moves its surplus.
Each pound diverted converts to avoided CO₂e on standard EPA factors — so the climate number comes from the pounds we already log.
