Reducing Hunger. Building Community.
a program of Wisconsin Harvest Network
a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
Our Mission
FEED MKE operates through a series of public-private partnerships optimizing regional food supply chains to expand market access, reduce loss, and strengthen agricultural resilience across Wisconsin. We function as an execution hub—repairing systemic disconnections in our food systems by linking producers, distributors, and community anchors to ensure surplus food feeds people, not landfills.
You'll get regular notes, a weekly podcast, and a new digital magazine each month, as we dive deep into the ethics of the harvest, field notes from our statewide network expansion, and real-time updates on our food systems milestones.
What you’ll find inside each edition:
🌱Field Notes: stories from farms, food businesses, nonprofits, schools, institutions, and communities across Wisconsin
👥 Conversations: interviews with growers, entrepreneurs, researchers, educators, chefs, and community leaders shaping the future of food
🍎 The Kitchen Table: seasonal recipes, preservation techniques, practical cooking ideas, and ways to make the most of Wisconsin’s harvest
♻️ Smarter Food Systems: practical strategies for preventing waste, expanding food recovery, and strengthening regional supply chains
🌾 Stewardship: gardening, composting, soil health, ecological restoration, and regenerative practices that strengthen communities and landscapes
🚜 Harvest + Markets: gleaning initiatives, agriculture, local food businesses, market access, and opportunities that support Wisconsin producers
🤝 Community in Action: volunteer opportunities, coalition partnerships, educational workshops, and collaborative projects throughout the state
🎙️ Ideas Worth Sharing: podcasts, interviews, books, research, and thoughtful reflections exploring the many dimensions of food and community
⚖️ Policy + Practice: legislation discussions, funding opportunities, food systems strategy, and the public policies shaping Wisconsin’s future
