Our Mission & Vision
Community Supported Agriculture
Who We Are
The Kiss Kornucopia CSA is a non-profit program started by a group of civically minded Kissimmee citizens who would like to provide our community with access to fair trade healthy foods in an educational, diverse, sustainable environment while enhancing the local economy, food security, and sense of place. Our long term goal is to bring a full-service community grocery to Downtown Kissimmee.
Non Profit
As a non-profit organization, the goal of our Board of Directors is to work with community officials to spread the word on how important it is to buy local. We give 100% of our membership fees to our farmers and producers!
Our Sponsors
We are very grateful to the Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA) for their continued support of our mission! Their financial support helps to cover any costs we have to run this program. We have many events we would like to plan and future needs we will need to address. If you would like to sponsor Kiss Kornucopia, or would like to make a donation outside of membership fees, please contact Board Member Rick Lewellyan at 630-479-6810.
Local Food Economy
When large national grocery supermarket chains deliver their products to the shelf, the consumers buy those products, and their money is put back on the truck and driven away from the local community. Isn’t it better to have a local food economy with local growers, grazers, makers, and bakers all benefiting from the shelf sales? By supporting these producers, more local jobs are created, more money is circulated in the local economy. Communities are stronger, relationships more meaningful, and life a little bit better when we all work together and support each other.
Growth
We need to work together if we want to achieve our goal of a downtown community grocery store in Kissimmee. We want to harness the passion and enthusiasm of all our resident foodies! If we build the CSA by growing our membership, then the grocery store is just around the corner.
We are happy to give a presentation to any group, club, or congregation in our market area (Kissimmee, St Cloud, Celebration). Your local Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Women’s and Junior Women’s Clubs, HOA, church, business, or scholastic club are all possibilities. Any group of 5+ at any venue, including your house, will work for us. Our presentation is informative, fun, and we bring delicious food! Contact us to get on our schedule.
