Join us and experience the movement that’s transforming the way we eat.
The 8th annual Good Food Festival and Conference – Chicago was a huge success! With three days of fantastic programming culminating in the Saturday Festival, the Good Food Festival and Conference was the place to be!
Participants experienced the Good Food Movement firsthand and learned about opportunities to fund growing food businesses, how existing businesses can expand their local food offerings, and what policy issues effect our food systems. The Festival was full of DIY workshops about preserving the season’s bounty, growing and making Good Food, and leaders discussing challenges and next steps to expand local, sustainable food for all.
