We believe thriving farm and food sectors are the heart of healthy, sustainable communities.
We launched InCommon with a clear goal: to work in service of creating more resilient and regionalized food systems that center communities first, not commodities. As advocates for more regenerative and organic food being produced (better for the planet) and accessible (better for the people), we recognize that the ways we connect to our foods and food system is contextual and cultural, and that scaling regeneration requires collaboration that is both deep and broad, interpersonal and intersectional.
With decades of experience in regional food systems and regenerative agriculture, and deep skills sets in strategic communications, storytelling, community engagement, and research, we help create pathways for our clients to thrive.
