Healthy Roots Institute

Food is the vehicle for our unification; it connects us on a deeper level. When bread is communally broken, magic happens that brings people together and levels the playing field. Yes, our mission is about filling people with delicious and nutritious foods. But it is also about reconnecting with our food—understanding where it comes from, understanding the history of our food system and planting our own seed, so that racial equity and community wealth will be abundant for generations to come. 

The Healthy Roots Institute’s mission is to impact the economy and local food system through food education, culinary training and certification, business training and ongoing professional support for entrepreneurs and businesses.
