On the first Friday of each month, September through April, the NH Food Alliance network hosts an informal and lively conversation with partners across the New Hampshire food system and beyond! Network Café topics often leading to further collaborations and projects; turning talk into action.
The 2025-26 Network Café Series
The 2025-2026 Network Café Series is a space to learn about and discuss the critical issues facing our food system right now.
A guest will join us to share about their understanding of the topic at hand and lay out the implications the issue has for our individual and collective work in creating a thriving food system here in the Granite State. Following the presentation, we will ask questions, discuss, and connect over what we learned, strengthening our relationships and connections to inspire solutions through collaboration.
In that spirit of collaboration and building connections, we urge you to share our Network Café Series with your networks, colleagues, and friends. Each café is designed to be inclusive opportunities for learning and growing in our food systems work. Below are the proposed topics and registration links for each upcoming Network Café; more details will be available as each gets closer. Looking forward to another season of learning together!
