JOIN US FOR THE Tennessee Local Food Summit

Farmers, gardeners, educators, activists, entrepreneurs, and food system stakeholders across Tennessee and the Southeast region will gather to learn, connect, and work together to build a more resilient, community food network.

This year’s gathering will include two full sessions, two keynote panels, farm-to-table meals, an interactive art installation, kids activities (grades 1-5), seed swap, networking opportunities, and a vendor trade show. For the first time, we are honored to be hosting The Phila Awards ceremony as a part of our programming.

We have volunteer opportunities, and scholarships available, and are still finalizing our conference sponsors and vendors. Please refer to the links below to learn more about how you can participate in this special, community-led event.
