Join us for the 2024 NH Food System Statewide Gathering on May 17 at The Barn on the Pemi in Plymouth, New Hampshire.
We will spend our time together diving into a variety of food system issues through breakout sessions, networking activities, a locally-sourced lunch, and end-of-gathering celebration. The NH Food System Statewide Gathering is an annual event hosted by the NH Food Alliance that brings together individuals, businesses, and organizations from across sectors who are dedicated to growing an improved local food system that works for all in the Granite State.
