About Us

Enriching Connections

Originally a platform allowing seamless transactions between growers and end consumers, Share Farm was founded to more deeply connect local farmers to their communities. Our next step was to create Eat Like a Chef in order to add further value and enrich people’s connection to their food with a little help from our region’s best chefs. Marrying community with sustainability, Share Farm provides chef-curated seasonal meal kits and a locally focused, no-commitment marketplace, all with the ease of at-home delivery, making it as easy as possible to eat sustainably, locally and deliciously. 

 

Vincent Peak
A vision to restore our local communities through sustainable food systems, allowing for the preservation of the environment and the restoration of health, wealth and investment back into local communities. A Spokane native, a veteran surveillance and reconnaissance Marine, a Biology graduate from Whitworth University with a background in conservation ecology and was a farmers market seller before deciding to pursue his vision of a disruptive mobile platform which marries technology with traditional artisan food culture. Looking back on the experiences from his military career, market selling ventures and scientific background, he found parallels to the entrepreneur life; was often working alone, made do with what was available, and invented many solutions along the way such as Share Farm. Share.Farm is a digital, uber farm economy, leveraging technology to simplify the distribution chain from Farm to Chef and Government contract, providing members with unprecedented supply and demand insights. Vince Peak launched Share Farm in 2015 as a solution to remove barriers between local producers and the community. Vince’s education and professional background has served as the catalyst for Share Farm’s continued devotion to innovating sustainable food systems, while his personal ventures as an herbalist maintains his drive for quality local produce.
