Windham Food Network and CT Food System Alliance, as part of the Eastern CT Regional Food System Partnership, in collaboration with The Foodshed Network, are convening two virtual discussions exploring pay-what-you-can food retail models. Please join us and help spread the word!
The Eastern Connecticut Rooting Deep, Scaling Up project is exploring alternative food retail and distribution models that strengthen the local economy, support local farmers, and improve community food access. One of the priorities identified by the partnership is to explore and develop alternative models for food retail that improve market access for local farmers and healthy food access for consumers.
The first webinar will explore pay-what-you-can/sliding scale restaurant models, on October 18th at noon, via Zoom. The speakers include Mark Bittman, who is launching the Community Kitchen, and Molly Reynolds of the Hands on Hartford Gather55 restaurant. For more information and to register, click here.
The second will explore pay-what-you-can/sliding scale grocery store models, on November 20th at 6:00pm, via Zoom. Speakers include Ben Dubow of Forge City Works (opening the Grocery on Broad next year) and Devyn Messinger, The Wild Ramp (West Virginia). Please save the date, the invitation to follow soon.
