Equity and Inclusion in Local Food Supply Chains

Hello from St. Paul! We are The Market Entry Fund, a nonprofit on a mission to advance equity and inclusion in local food supply chains.

To do this, we uplift entrepreneurs in packaged food production and manufacturing. Think granola bars, hot sauce, kombucha, seasoning blends, or coffee - we support the makers behind the products. The food entrepreneurs we support are typically underrepresented on grocery shelves, such as women, people of color, veterans, and other folks who face barriers to market entry.

We want every consumer to have as many choices as possible that support their local neighbors and flavors!

TMEF provides technical assistance, market connections, and micro-grants for entrepreneurs. Your donation will directly support our programming for food founders, and will ultimately go back to you when you shop!
