The Ashtabula Local Food Council focuses on three distinct areas of local food work: Community, Growers, and Policy. Every food system has a series of vital parts, but we consider it our highest priority to focus on the growers that produce our food and the communities they serve. Ashtabula County has a proud heritage of food, and we hope to celebrate and expand that great tradition.
