In 2016 Kane County completed the feasibility study which assessed market conditions, identified strategies to improve healthy food access and evaluated a hub’s overall financial viability.

Beginning in 2017 the Project Team began working to identify a qualified operator to manage the food hub. The selected operator will have the opportunity to work with the Project Team’s consultant to prepare a customized and comprehensive business plan at no cost.

The Kane County Board announced Nov. 14 the selection of PKE Enterprises  Inc D.B.A. Dream HUB to operate a countywide food hub.

Dream HUB establishes Dream Distributors as the Aggregation and Distribution arm of the Food HUB.

With support from Kane County, Rush Copley Hospital, and Telligen a pilot program to aggregate and distribute produce is lunched. The pilot program known as Fresh & Local Rx provides Dream Distributor the opportunity to launch small scale operations during its final business planning phase.

What Are We Up To?

We are fine tuning our business plan with data developed through the ongoing Fresh & Local Rx program.

We are settling into the aggregation and distribution facilities built-out at Dream Kitchen.

We continue to making valuable connections with growers, producers and institutions that align with our strategic plan.
