Food Collective
The Food Collective is a new community group creating opportunities for friendship, learning, and community service. We support local farms & producers, people in need, and the organizations that assist them. Our activities center around food and are based on member preferences and participation. We meet in members’ homes, local farms, at restaurants, libraries, and other locations of interest.
Membership to the Food Collective is open for adults in Union, Snyder, and adjoining counties. Join us for farm tours, online educational resources, potlucks, joint purchasing, and more.
