Locals Food Hub And Pizza Pub, LLC

Locals Food Hub And Pizza Pub, LLC is a Kentucky-based food distribution and aggregation enterprise that operates as a federal grant recipient under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, receiving two prime grants totaling $602 thousand and serving as a sub-recipient on one USDA-funded grant. The vendor is structured as a limited liability partnership and competes in the rural food systems and agricultural marketing space rather than federal contracting.

Locals Food Hub And Pizza Pub received a $20 thousand or less REAP-Renew Energy Systems grant from USDA Rural Business Cooperative Services, awarded June 25, 2025 with completion scheduled for June 25, 2027. The vendor also received an Agricultural Marketing Service grant dated September 30, 2022 (completion September 29, 2025) for procurement of a refrigerated truck to support establishment of a food hub and distribution system. That award funded aggregation, processing, packaging, storage, and distribution of eggs, cheeses, meat, dairy, and produce from local and regional Kentucky producers, with direct marketing program development to connect producers to the hub. Locally Food Hub And Pizza Pub additionally serves as a sub-recipient under a Healthy Food Financing Initiative Targeted Small Grants award from The Reinvestment Fund, Inc., dated April 14, 2023, which supports innovative fresh food retail and food system enterprises seeking to improve access to healthy food in underserved areas.

Activity spans three years at a flat rate of one award per active year. The vendor holds 67% of its footprint as prime recipient status, with one award (the HFFI sub-grant) completing within the next twenty-four months. Customer concentration is split between USDA Rural Business Cooperative Services (two awards) and USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (one award), representing 100% of the source portfolio. The vendor's federal footprint reflects rural economic development and agricultural infrastructure investment rather than commercial federal contracting exposure.
