OUR COMMUNITY FOOD SYSTEM

Growing Places is a founding and seated Steering Committee member of Local Food Works, a network of farmers, nonprofits, businesses and residents seeking to build a more equitable, sustainable, and accessible local food system in North Central MA.

We’re working to make healthy food accessible to all by providing training and support to help local farmers scale up; creating a food hub to aggregate, store, and distribute food in the region; and strengthening coordination and communications among all sectors of the NCMA food system.
