Menu for the Future is the local resource for creating small, intimate discussions around what we eat, where our food comes from, food safety, food insecurity, creating edible schoolyards in our neighborhoods, and supporting or even become local food growers. We meet, we read, we think, we choose, we act. If you are interested in bridging the gap betwee …
