Is your congregation interested in building relationships with farmers in your community and purchasing fresh, healthy food? Join RAFI-USA and Come to the Table to learn about our newest initiative, the Farm and Faith Partnerships Project!
The Farm and Faith Partnerships Project connects NC churches with farmers from RAFI’s Farmers of Color Network to create sustainable food-based partnerships. These partnerships look different depending on the context, but could look like a group of churches coming together to form a food box purchasing group to purchase from a local farmer or like a church hosting a farmers market in their parking lot (perhaps in coordination with another church event like a community meal). Through these farm-to-faith connections, churches are able to participate in the building of thriving local food systems and economies while also engaging in relational ministries with farmers in their communities.
