WSU and Citizens for Local Food are collaborating to launch a new Local Food Council for Jefferson County. The vision is to attract volunteers from across the entire food system: farmers, value added producers, regulatory people, health educators, restauranteurs, institutional food service folks, food retail, food security/food bank representatives, Grange members, resource waste management, elected officials, and concerned citizens, willing to meet several times a year specifically to consider how to strengthen our local food access for all.
Anyone with a commitment to community building and collaboration may fill out a Statement of Interest, and return it to WSU by the deadline, October 20th. The Statement of Interest can be downloaded at:
