About the CVFAC
The Creston Valley Food Action Coalition (CVFAC), a non-profit organization, is a network of local food producers, agricultural agencies and concerned citizens working to create awareness of how we can better feed ourselves through local resources in a sustainable, healthy, secure and environmentally sound way.
The CVFAC motto is Let's Grow, Let's Eat, Let's Share:
The CVFAC supports the development of a sustainable food system; one where local food may be produced and harvested in a manner that maintains and enhances the quality of land, air and water for future generations, and in which people are able to earn a living wage in a safe and healthy working environment growing, producing, and harvesting food.

The CVFAC is committed to the development of a secure food system where all people at all times have an adequate quantity and quality of culturally and personally acceptable food. This is essential to the health of our community, and requires cooperation among many different sectors, including housing, social policy, agriculture, education, and community, cultural, voluntary and charitable groups, and businesses.
Membership in the Creston Valley Food Action Coalition is free, and all are welcome to join. The Coalition meets monthly September through June. Please contact cvfoodaction@gmail.com for meeting times and location.
