Greenwich Food Alliance (GFA) is an alliance of educators, businesses, agencies, community members, nonprofit organizations, and municipal leaders. We meet bi-monthly, the last Friday of the month, alternate between in person and virtual and operate as a Community of Practice.  

GFA works together to advance Greenwich's food system initiatives through leveraging inspiration, knowledge, and networks. Our connectivity helps us to identify issues, strategize solutions, overcome barriers and support each other. The alliance represents, and gives voice to, a Greenwich food community with a shared vision of an equitable, accessible and resilient local food system. 

TFN values the promotion and elevation of equity, diversity and inclusion for a more engaged, just and sustainable community. We welcome anyone who is interested in food systems. For more information on how to get involved please reach out to Ali Ghiorse @ ali@thefoodshednetwork.org.
