Building a more resilient, local-first food system
Meet the team and the vision behind the Huntsville Food & Farm Hub
Who We Are
We’re a group of creatives, food lovers, community builders, and local food advocates united by our shared love for North Alabama and the people growing and producing local goods here. We believe regional agriculture can be a force for good.
Huntsville Food Hub was founded by Lauren and Ryan Murphy and Callie and Chris Enea. Lauren leads Hillfolk Farmacy, where she grows heirloom vegetables and flowers. Chris and Callie cultivate Mable and Jack Farmstead, focused on herbs, perennial plantings, and cut flowers.
We’ve spent years frequenting farmers markets, growing our own food, and building community around shared meals. We met through our passion for local food and our vision for a resilient food system.

We're committed to making local food the norm in North Alabama.
We’re here to highlight North Alabama food — and to invite everyone to the table.
We believe:
Local food should be accessible not a privilege or puzzle.
Producers deserve opportunities to sell year-round with adequate resources to scale.
Food systems should work for everyone, not just the most profitable.
Resilience lives in our backyards, in our neighbors’ kitchens, and in the soil just down the road.
