Good Food Foundation

Foodmuse has had a long and rewarding relationship with The Good Food Foundation, a 501(C)(3) that exists to celebrate, connect, empower and leverage the passionate and engaged, yet often overlooked, players in the food system who are driving towards tasty, authentic and responsible food in order to humanize and reform our American food culture.

Through five key programs – Awards, Guild, Alliance, Mercantile and Fund– The Good Food Foundation builds widespread support for the growers, ranchers, makers and merchants stubbornly swimming upstream to create and share the kind of food we all want to eat: tasty, authentic and responsible.

Our relationship began in 2017 when Foodmuse Founder, McKenzie, helped produce the Good Food Award’s After Party. From there, she went on to be a judge for the Snacks Category and in 2021, together with Co-Founder Meghan, they chaired GFF’s newest committee: Drinks.

Most recently, Foodmuse has been working with the Good Food Foundation in an ongoing capacity to launch the Portland Mercantile, a one-day, intimate gathering of like-minded food crafters and merchants. Open exclusively to Good Food Guild Members, it is an opportunity for thoughtful, responsible American food crafters to connect with the growing community of retailers that value quality, care and craftsmanship.
