Today's food typically has to travel thousands of miles to reach our plates. The Farm to Fork Summit seeks to bring farmers, distributors, food buyers, and relevant stakeholders together to encourage the connections needed to create a more resilient local food supply so that getting locally produced food on our menus, in our schools, and in our local and larger markets nearby can help us build economic growth and strengthen community bonds.

It’s part of making sure everyone in our communities eats and lives well!
