Become part of our tradition. Join NICFA, its state affiliates, and others from around the country to lobby Congress and serve the LOCAL FOODS FEAST OF THE YEAR, featuring food from small independent farmers prepared by local chefs.  Let's again show Congress that local food is the best Safe Food System, highlighting the benefits available only from community based agriculture -- prosperous local and national economies; health and nutrition for people, land and animals; low energy impact from minimal transportation, processing and distribution.

The Food Safety bills in Congress threaten the viability of all local food production.  Make an appointment now to meet with your Congressman and two Senators on March 10.  Expect to meet with aides, they are the eyes and ears of the legislators. Please invite your Congressman, two Senators and their aides to the reception.  Come be the face of local food.

If you have never met with a legislative aide before, fret not. We will provide encouragement and Talking Points. Talking Points and directions will be posted on www.NICFA.org before Lobby Day.
 

Stay tuned for updates.

 

Yours for food freedom,
