Mount Washington Valley Eaters and Growers

Strengthening Food Systems and Fighting Food insecurity in the Mt. Washington Valley.

Mount Washington Valley Eaters and Growers (MWVEG) works to strengthen the regional food system and increase access to locally grown food through education, communication, collaboration, cooperation, and food access. Our volunteer board, made up of farmers and local food advocates, provides a voice for farmers and connects community members with local food. 

Since 2019, MWVEG has produced the Local Farm Guide, a comprehensive directory of farms, farmers’ markets, CSAs, and local-food restaurants in our region. This guide increases awareness of local food and strengthens the regional food system.

In 2020, MWVEG launched the Food for All Local Food Access Fund, addressing food insecurity in Carroll County and adjacent areas. The program serves community members of all income levels, ensuring locally grown food is accessible to families in need.

The Valley has a rich history and heritage of farming and agriculture, adding to the beauty, culture, and environment. MWVEG is guided by a shared passion for local food, farm viability, environmental sustainability, community education, and food access.
