Wisconsin’s New Food Hub Opens | Madison News

A new $6 million federally funded hub, the Foodshed Partnership, has opened its doors in Wisconsin to bridge the gap between local farmers and community buyers. Located in a repurposed food bank warehouse on Wright Street, this 10,000-square-foot facility—run by REAP Food Group, Pasture and Plenty, FairShare CSA Coalition, and Community Action Coalition—features a prep kitchen and processing room to handle fresh, even imperfect, produce. Designed to tackle the “missing middle” of the food system, it helps small growers in Dane, Waukesha, and Jefferson counties get their goods to restaurants, food pantries, and more—with transportation support included. The initiative aims to cut food waste, strengthen the local economy, and keep Wisconsin’s bounty within the state, ensuring fresher food reaches those who need it most.
