To our partner businesses, colleagues, technical assistance partners and friends across the Northwest and Rocky Mountain region, since July 2023 it has been our honor to work with you to support local and regional supply chain development. Although we are remiss to close this chapter of our work together, we are excited to announce the formation of the Western Food Business Collaborative (WFBC), a multi-state initiative that will continue to serve food and farm businesses in our region and beyond (leaning into the strong network of mission-minded organizations that came together under the former Center).
As a first step in continuing our work at connecting and informing, the Western Food Business Collaborative (WFBC) invites you to review our first WFBC newsletter (opens in new tab) to learn more about partner events and how we envision carrying on our collective food systems and business development work.
