A little bit about us.
ReKaivery (ruh · kye · vr · ee) evolved within Colorado State University’s Impact MBA in the early months of 2020. Around the same time, COVID-19 exposed the inequalities and inefficiencies that contaminate food supply systems in the United States. We saw farmers stuck with fields of produce left to rot, stocked warehouses without delivery plans, and barren shelves in grocery stores across the nation. It was clear to us an alternate network needed to be developed.
Since late 2019, we’ve been listening to agricultural stakeholders across Colorado. We’ve heard from food suppliers and food buyers and learned some key things:
Local farmers, ranchers, growers, and makers need more convenient ways to sell.
Colorado residents need better access to locally sourced foods. Once-a-week farmers’ markets aren’t enough.
ReKaivery is bringing permanent farmers’ marketplaces to communities across Colorado.
Our carbon-neutral shipping containers will be centralized sales outlets for local farmers and suppliers. We’re making local food affordable and accessible to Coloradans by unifying farmers, food truckers, restaurants, artists, musicians, brewers, beer-drinkers, bookworms, cyclists (and everyone else who keeps Colorado funky) to bring local food the celebration it deserves. We’re recovering local food networks, one container at a time.
