Mission

Connected Chef is an organization of cooks and restaurant workers on a mission...

To build a community-controlled food system that ensures every Queens' household has consistent access to local, nutritious food; provides healthy eating education; and pathways to financial agency.

We work toward this mission with Lifeline Groceries and our sliding scale Urban Farm Stand programming. Through these efforts, Connected Chef delivers fresh, nutrient dense, culturally appropriate groceries, while supporting local farms and businesses, creating job opportunities and building community power.
