Network Café Series

On the first Friday of each month, September through April, the NH Food Alliance network hosts an informal and lively conversation with partners across the New Hampshire food system and beyond! Network Café topics often leading to further collaborations and projects; turning talk into action.

The 2024-2025 Network Café Series is a space to learn about and discuss critical topics and issues facing our food system right now. Each month, we’ll spend an hour talking about a program, policy, or issue, ranging from farm to school to seafood supply chains and beyond. An expert will join us to share about their understanding of the topic at hand and lay out the implications the issue has for our individual and collective work in creating a thriving food system here in the Granite State. Following the presentation, we’ll come together to ask questions, discuss, and connect about what we learned, strengthening our relationships and connections to inspire solutions through collaboration.

In the spirit of building connections, we urge you to share our Network Café Series with your networks, colleagues, and friends. Each café is open to all and are designed to be inclusive opportunities for learning and growing in our food systems work.

Browse through the series calendar below and register. And a reminder— registration for the Network Café Series is rolling; you register once and receive monthly reminders before each Network Café. So register, add it to your calendar, and we’ll see you at noon on the first Friday of the month.
