About Us
The New England Farm & Sea to Campus Network is a community of people working in and with higher education and food systems. We connect, share, and collaborate to develop transparent regional supply chains and educate campus communities about regional food systems. Dozens of volunteers helped bring the Farm & Sea to Campus Network to life with the support of Farm to Institution New England and its funders.
Please join the effort to grow this network, share information, collaborate, and identify and implement solutions through participating in one of our working groups, applying to be a part of our steering committee, connecting with us on Facebook, and/or sharing your questions and ideas with us by email (campus@farmtoinst.org). Sign up for our FINE Print newsletter for notices on webinars, meetings, and network gatherings.
