Hello Greenwich Food Alliance!
 
Excellent meeting on Friday. 
 
Thank you ~ Nick for hosting, Rebecca for taking the Minutes, Linda, 
Rob, Lori and Danielle for sharing your expertise and to all who 
participated in the conversation. 
 
Following up with Minutes + lots of resources!
 
The May meeting will focus on Farm to School. 
Farm to School goes beyond offering local food on the menu. It provides educational opportunities such as cooking, gardening, and farm visits. We will get an update on CT Grown for CT Kids + Local School Food Incentive policy initiative and CT Farm to School Institute

The GSC-FSS + TFN values the promotion and elevation of equity, diversity and 
inclusion for a more engaged, just and sustainable community. 
 
We welcome anyone who is interested in food systems.
 
“Food is our most intimate and powerful connection to each other, our cultures and to the earth. To transform our food system is to heal our bodies, transform our economy & protect our environment.”
