OUR MISSION
We are reconnecting the food system through practical, creative solutions that empower every member of the food supply cycle from farmers and makers to nonprofits and neighbors.
OUR PURPOSE
Reviving Communities
Through Food.
RIPE facilitates the connections. Together, growers, businesses, families, and community partners become part of the solution.
OUR VISION
We envision a world free from brokenness - where farms thrive, businesses flourish, and neighbors unite as communities to meet the greater need of those within them!
PARTICIPATION CREATES IMPACT

THE FAITH BEHIND THE WORK
All things made new.
Our Christian faith shapes the purpose behind RIPE and our hope for renewal.
Our vision draws on the promise of renewal in Revelation 21. We seek to be a vessel for service: food creates opportunities to serve, service builds trust, and relationships create space for intentional conversations and sharing the gospel of Jesus.
We invite every neighbor and partner to find a meaningful way to participate in the revival.
