racial equity statement
At Wellfarm Meats we commit to facilitate a racially equitable local food system.
We recognize that the roots of racial exploitation in agriculture have directly led to continued obstacles and exclusion of people of color from participation in local food systems as both producers and consumers.
These disparities infiltrate all corners of the industry, from access to high quality food to land acquisition to equitable compensation for work accomplished.
We believe that the responsibility to rectify this unacceptable reality lies with every local community member, individually and corporately.
Wellfarm Meats will promote food system equity and justice through the following avenues:
Education
We will seek to continually educate ourselves, our employees, and our community regarding the effects of systemic racism and each of our roles in pursuing racial justice, particularly within food systems and agriculture.
Communication
We will create an anti-racist culture within our company, ensuring each member of our team and by extension our whole community feels equally heard and valued. We will consistently review public and intra-company communications to ensure that our language and media reflect anti-racist values and support the pursuit of racial justice in all organizational operations.
Representation
We will pursue relationships with individuals and organizations that are led by, employ, and/or support producers and consumers of color. We will seek to partner with a diverse assemblage of farmers and help ensure equitable food access to a diverse group of consumers. We will regularly review the power structure and composition of our own company to ensure it reflects and fosters an anti-racist culture.
