The Eat Local First Collaborative is a group of organizations in Washington State, varied in scale and reach. Some have a hyperlocal focus, and others serve the entire state. This is what makes our work so effective. Eat Local First seeks local and regional partners to co-create regional identities within the Eat Local First platform which houses the Washington Food & Farm Finder.
Join us for a roundtable conversation around the needs and opportunities for local food communities that exist in the diverse regions of Washington, and how you, your business or organization can tap into and leverage the resources available from Eat Local First.
Farms, food businesses, and those interested in supporting local food through culinary and agritourism and all areas of economic development related to food systems are highly encouraged to participate.
