Local Food Economy Discussion

Farmers, ranchers, food business owners, educators, artists, and interested community members are invited to join us on Sunday, March 5th from 4:00 – 6:00 pm at the FarmHouse Cafe, for a discussion about how we can strengthen our local food economy and connect people of all ages to the bounty of San Benito County agriculture. 

This gathering was inspired by a December presentation at Paicines Ranch where Martin Ping of the Hawthorne Valley Association shared how their agricultural community built a thriving Food Hub serving the New York City Metropolitan area (more info here: https://benitolinkcom.wpengine.com/growing-connection-land).  Many of those who attended voiced the desire to continue a conversation about building a more vibrant community food hub right here in San Benito County.  We welcome your participation and input. Please share this invitation with anyone else you think is willing to roll up their sleeves and dive into this exciting topic. 

Please RSVP to sanbenitobountyca@slowfoodusa.org.  Beverages will be available for sale, but the Cafe will be closed for food service.

We look forward to seeing you at this gathering to promote the Bounty of our County!
