A food hub is a “centrally located facility with a business management structure facilitating the aggregation, storage, processing, distribution, and/or marketing of locally/regionally produced food products”. Food Hubs play a huge role in farm to school and harvest of the month by connecting small farmers to distributors and local school districts.
