Mission
Working together to create, expand, and strengthen a local food system that is accessible, healthy, sustainable, and economically vibrant.
Applicants Sought for Food Council
The vision of the Jefferson County Local Food System Council (JCLFSC) 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 monthly 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. While Statements of Interest can be submitted at any time, new members are typically seated in January of each year. Download the Statement of Interest (PDF).

Discussion is in process now with the intention of launching a Food and Farm Council in fall of this year, 2014.
