About Us
Sustainable Connections is a Non-Profit organization operating out of Bellingham, WA serving Whatcom, Skagit, San Juan, and Island counties. Since 2004, we have worked to create a thriving community. Our Food & Farming Program launched the original Eat Local First Campaign in 2011 as a way to help people identify and support local farms and food businesses. We provide educational resources to our community, and tools to support local food & farming businesses in the form of events, marketing, technical support, new farmer training, and much more.
