Welcome
Cultivating Community North Valley is a network of organizations that provide education and resources to get people in the Chico area involved in local food. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to be involved in the local food movement, regardless of access to resources or language. Please feel free to explore our page. We hope you find our resources helpful and that you’ll join us in the local food movement.
