Building Resilient Food Systems and Stronger Communities

Sagamore Consulting helps producers, organizations, and communities align people, markets, and resources to create sustainable growth, stronger local economies, and lasting impact.

Our Story

Sagamore Consulting grew out of a simple truth: communities thrive when their systems are aligned.

After years of working across agriculture, environmental health, regional planning, and organizational leadership, we saw a need for a consulting practice that could bridge technical expertise with grounded, community‑centered support.

Today, Sagamore Consulting serves as a trusted partner to producers, nonprofits, and regional networks working to build stronger, more resilient local economies.
