Contribute to Reunity Resources
The importance of local, resilient, and restorative food systems has become more apparent than ever in the past two years of public health emergency, amplified climate destabilization, supply chain disruptions, and ever-increasing resource inequality.
Our work would not be possible without all of our community members and collaborators. Together, we are growing healthy soils, healthy food and healthy community systems while addressing deeper roots of food system inequities and climate change.

What does an equitable, restorative food system really look like?
Our ongoing inquiry serves as the foundation of many conversations and collaborations.
The initial results of these conversations were an expansion of our local food access programs. These successful programs such as Double Up Food Bucks (all produce purchased with EBT is half off), the Santa Fe Community Fridge (mutual aid 24/7 food access point), Farm Card and direct food donations (for families in need served by partner organizations including SFPS Adelante, Santa Fe Indigenous Center and Many Mothers), and work trade opportunities to learn and earn produce continue to provide results, alleviating hunger and food insecurity in our community.
Beyond immediate community food access programs, our ultimate goal is creating meaningful systemic change in regional food systems & policies. We envision community food and infrastructure hubs at the core of a localized, resilient, and nourishing food system, where all people have equitable and secure access to locally grown & produced foods. We see many people becoming skilled in land regeneration, water conservation, and farming, and accessing the resources needed to create food security from the soil up.
By creating a successful model for adaptation and replication throughout New Mexico, we can provide the education, shared infrastructure and advocacy needed to achieve this. This includes policy work, the sharing of knowledge and agricultural infrastructure, increasing access to food waste diversion programs, improving desert soil health, and increasing fresh local food access statewide.
Collaborative examples of our work towards systemic food system change include:

Collaborative examples of our work towards systemic food system change include:
- Land regeneration and young farmer training programs with YouthWorks, Alas de Agua, Mother Nature Center, Three Sisters Collective, and Santa Fe County
- A detailed open-source compost systems manual written and published with Quivira Coalition
- Statewide compost trainings taught with the New Mexico Recycling Coalition.

Food Access, Equity,
& Policy Programs
Food access, equity, and policy require immediate actions and longer term considerations: both giving a fish and teaching how to fish, if you will. We aim to affect both, and your donation supports the record keeping, outreach, and advocacy associated with programs such as Double Up Food Bucks, WIC, Senior FMNP, and other programs that improve food access in our community.

Site Infrastructure
It takes a lot to run a farm, compost yard and environmental education facility! Help us maintain irrigation, soil health, greenhouses and so much more. |

Farm Fresh Food Donations
In 2021, we donated nearly 2,000 bags of groceries filled with fresh farm produce to families through our partners at Many Mothers, the Santa Fe Indigenous Center, and SFPS Adelante. Help underwrite the cost of the produce donations Reunity makes from the farm to local emergency food providers and food banks. |
