NEPA Local Growers MeetingsWe’re a group of local farmers and growers in Bradford, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Sullivan, Susquehanna, and Wyoming counties in Pennsylvania.
Our goal is to help support a thriving regional food system here in Northeastern PA in order to grow markets, increase grower wages, and improve food access.
Our core premise:
Farmers and growers deserve to earn a thriving wage
Thriving wages are possible in a thriving community food system that is designed to meet the needs of growers and customers
Fellow growers are our collaborators, not our competitors
Together we can cultivate and advocate for more efficient systems for Growing, Processing, Preparing, Retailing, Distributing, and Waste Management (the pillars of a community food system).
If you’d like to join us, you’ll find all the deets for actionable projects and upcoming meetings below…

Grown In NEPA Buyers Guide
This spring we worked with the Times Leader to produce our first annual “Grown In NEPA” guide to fresh locally grown food in Northeastern PA.
The goal of this project is to make it easier and more convenient for people and restaurants to discover and buy locally grown food and agricultural products (wine, honey, jam, etc).
This guide was published both digitally and in print on Sunday, June 14th and we’ll be chatting about the 2027 guide when we all meet at the next Growers Meeting in Sept.
