Community
The Committee:
The Community Committee exists to bring together farmers and community members to celebrate the local agricultural community while increasing membership and awareness of the challenges facing our local food system. The Community Committee hosts social gatherings to increase connection amongst members and holds racial equity discussion groups to enable our chapter to grow towards a more inclusive environment.
