We are also excited to take part in this year's Northeast Farm to Institution Summit where we will be taking part in a panel as part of the Sustainable Shellfish - Production to Consumption Field Trip at Roger Williams University on April 27th!

The Field Trip:
Join us at Roger Williams University as we tour the Shellfish Program to learn about the lifecycle of shellfish from hatchery to farm. Then, take part in a lunch highlighting local seafood followed by a roundtable discussion with a local fisherman, educator, food service provider, chef and researcher to gain insight into local shellfish aquaculture and institutional procurement at Roger Williams University with Bon Appétit Management Company.
 
The Summit:
Transform the food system and join other change-makers at the hybrid conference Northeast Farm to Institution Summit! This April 2023, gather with 500+ stakeholders under the theme "CommUNITY Powers the Food System," to advance farm, food, and sea businesses to create healthy, just communities. Together, we focus on the role of institutions as community anchors with the power to transform the regional food system. Attendees include foodservice operators, producers, supply chain businesses, advocates, public officials, funders, and anyone dedicated to the farm to institution movement. Two days of virtual programming + two days in-person at Farm Fresh Rhode Island in Providence, RI. Tiered ticketing available on a sliding scale. www.f2isummit.org #F2iSummit @Farm2Inst @FarmFreshRI
