Our History
The Hudson Food Collective was founded in 2014 by Hudson residents Robyn Rees and Esme Terry, with the initial goal of getting the community together to share food knowledge and skills as part of increasing the resilience of the local community and our food system.
Robyn, a graduate student from Concordia University, believes that focusing on building resilient food systems is the key to ensuring a liveable future. She is motivated to bring together a community of knowledge and practice to work toward re-localizing the food system. Esme, a natural health practitioner and bookkeeper for three food organizations, feels passionately about the healing power of whole foods, seasonal eating, and being actively engaged in the local community. Together, they reached out to the community and formed the HFC. After two years of events and activities, the HFC became incorporated as a non-profit organization in August 2016. |
