SECOND ANNUAL

WELCOME TO THE FOODINDEPENDENCE SUMMIT 2023

TAKE YOUR FOOD OFF-GRID! Two jam-packed days of inspiring speakers, hands-on learning, and fun.

Our overall intent is that those who are new to the ‘food independence’ concept will get the encouragement and tools to take “one more step” toward discovering the freedom that comes with homegrown and local food.
