Do you grow a food product you aren’t sure how to market or distribute? Are you a chef looking to add unique local items to your menu? Join us Tuesday, Nov. 15 from 5 to 6 p.m. via Zoom. Join us, invite others, and help us grow our network. Good Food Connections meetings are free virtual networking events designed to give all participants of the food system - like growers, distributors, retailers, food pantries, chefs, school food service, and more – the opportunity to make connections that will strengthen our food system. Maybe someone needs your old equipment. Perhaps you can make a great food special with the last of someone’s harvest. Because we are virtual, the opportunity to connect regionally is better. Each meeting will include a presentation from someone who is part of the food system. It is a chance to learn about their efforts and needs. Past meetings have led to less local food waste, increased food supplies for food banks, and even the establishment of a food policy council in a nearby county.
Please register in advance to receive the zoom link; there is no fee to participate. All UF/IFAS Extension programs are open to all and the University of Florida is an Equal Opportunity Organization.
