As the Good Food Movement has grown over the last decade so too have the number of organizations dedicated to helping more sustainable food find its way to as many people as possible. Though many individuals have worked to raise awareness, numerous victories have been made from collections of people volunteering their time and donations to fund food projects they hope will make a difference.

Though I wish this could be a thoroughly scientific best-of list, there are simply too many great nonprofits around – national and local. (This is a great problem to have!) The purpose of this list is to share some great organizations that you might not have heard of. They appear in alphabetical order within categories.
