Evento

Pierce County Farm-to-Table Forum
Producers in Pierce County raise amazing amounts of diverse products from rhubarb to oysters, wine to eggs, and jalapeños to pumpkins. At the same time, many children and adults aren't eating enough healthy foods, and many are obese, overweight or going hungry.

Join local producers, distributors, health care professionals, school nutrition directors, chefs, retailers, sustainable food advocates, and consumers for a day of network building, expert panel discussions, and more. Help build connections, creating healthier people, jobs, and environments.
