Food

TNCC is working with regional farmers and ranchers to find effective means of reconnecting residents and visitors with a local food supply. The beautiful west end of our and neighboring Montrose County has a long growing season and abundant water resources. We believe local food production is a means toward community reconnection and healing.

We recently received a Paradox Community Trust grant from the Telluride Foundation to help perform a Community Food Assessment. We'll be gathering data from farmers and ranchers as well as restaurants, grocery stores and the general public on all aspects of our food system. One goal is to quantify both the current demand and supply as well as identify missing links that would facilitate more local food on local plates! For more information on the Paradox Community Trust visit www.telluridefoundation.org

We'd love to see more community gardens and greenhouses and will help facilitate those whenever and wherever possible!
