Food Coalition Community Conversation Features Guidestone Colorado
The community is invited to join the Food Coalition Community Conversation on Thursday, December 9th from 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm, when we will virtually meet and chat with Amanda Laban of Guidestone Colorado out of Chaffee County. Guidestone Colorado is a non-profit organization that is growing a vibrant agricultural future through education, community building, and partnerships. Their initiative is founded upon the belief that if individuals are exposed to experiences on local farms and ranches, that exposure results in a growing appreciation for where our food comes from and the commitment and resources needed to produce food locally. The result of these choices will be resilient local food systems, healthier communities, and a vibrant future for local agriculture. Come learn and discuss how this food system effort is related to the work of the Food Coalition to advance nutrition security in Archuleta County.
