We are redesigning and rebuilding the middle of our regional food system, building by building.
In today’s world, there is virtually no infrastructure to support a food system that operates between the scale of globalized industry and the scale of an individual farmers market.
This is a design challenge.
At Midcourse, we design and develop regional-scale food infrastructure in the Northeast and beyond.
We are an interdisciplinary studio dedicated to rebuilding the processing hubs, aggregators, mills, storage, and markets that are critical for regional food economies.
Our work imagines a world where our food infrastructure is beautiful, accessible, legible, and deeply-rooted in community.
Our projects bring that future to life.

Why ‘Midcourse’?
The name Midcourse reflects a moment of potential, ripe with wide open opportunity and wild imagination.
We believe we are midway through our trajectory as a planet, navigating the intersecting crises of climate, culture, and economy. We are also midcourse in a delicious meal—deep in the pleasures and labors of food, place, and community—and in the middle of the supply chain, where there is so much potential and possibility but for the lack of deeply-rooted infrastructure.
This is a critical moment to ask: what future do we want, and how can we build that future? We strive to bring creativity and care to this inflection point, in order to design a more just, nourishing, and delicious world.
