Food can be a tool to bring a community together. By creating spaces for neighbors to interact at farmers markets, community gardens, or restaurants, local food gives neighbors something to bond over that can be the foundation for strong relationships. We hope these resources inspire you to think of the ways you can leverage local food in your community.
