CFAC is a grassroots organization, and we rely on our members for their support and ideas.  Education and outreach are key components of keeping our members informed about the latest issues, challenges, and innovative opportunities relating to local, sustainable food.  We also invite members to share their knowledge and expertise to help us grow.

CFAC's education and outreach comes in many different forms--from film festivals and public lectures, to pulling up a seat around the table and enjoying a good meal together.
