Dedicated to the elimination of food deserts, TSL works to create verifiable and accessible food networks of single source growers, urban gardens, small farms, non-GMO producers and more.

Then, through reconnecting people to healthy affordable nutrition, Salsa becomes the difference in how people relate to food.
