History
Tom, the founder of 4P Foods, and his wife participated in a traditional CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) for five years. They loved it! Sort of. While it was wonderful to get a box of local veggies every week, it was, in many ways, less than convenient for their busy schedules: - They had to go across town every Tuesday to pick it up - They never knew what they were going to get in their box - If they were out of town or stuck at work, their box would sadly go to waste -Their CSA was only 5-6 months, so they were stuck eating poor quality produce for the rest of the year! They loved their farmers and the food, but there had to be an easier way. It was this experience that set the foundation for 4P Foods. Tom wanted to take that model of a CSA and tweak it to make it easier for people participate, and in so doing, make good, healthy, sustainable food accessible to everyone - regardless of their income. In 2014, 4P Foods was born to do just that. We hope you'll join us.
