About us
Our Story
At the North Hartford Food Hub, we aggregate, process, store, and distribute locally grown food for schools, markets, and community food-access programs. We purchase primarily from Connecticut farmers and small local growers, helping create reliable markets for their products. KPSP has been building this work for several years, with our farm-to-institution and food distribution efforts expanding significantly since 2024.

Healthy PlanEat makes it easy to buy from Connecticut farms and businesses. We use what we buy every day and feel connected to the farmers and businesses that are doing so much for our state.
I love Healthy PlanEat because ordering the freshest, seasonal produce is easy. We have a wide choice of seasonally and locally grown products, greens, dairy, meats, and breads. The pick up on Saturday morning is joyful and fast! We love our fresh weekly greens!
Healthy PlanEat is an extraordinary bridge for getting fresh, delicious food from Connecticut's farmers and food artisans. There's no place like it to order sustainably created foods at home. In addition, we have had the opportunity to meet the wonderful people who produce these foods.
I've used Healthy PlanEat regularly over the last few years and can't say enough great things about Rosemary, her team, and their local network of farms. Their friendly staff provide my family with a wide selection of high quality, local food from multiple farms at a convenient pickup location. What else could you ask for?
Healthy PlanEat is our essential provider of the best organic vegetables, bread, honey, meat and cheese from local farmers. Dr. Himmelstein's squashes, Drew's Velvet Honey, and Cato Corner cheeses deserve a special shoutout. Rosemary provides wonderful customer service, and we look forward to picking up our order every week!
