CONVIVIUM URBAN FARMSTEAD

Convivium is a nonprofit whose mission is to improve life through food.
Why food? Because it is universal. Everyone eats.

And we believe the ritual of eating is more than just satisfying hunger -- it involves the farmer that grew the food; the soil, sun, and rain that gave it life; the person who prepared it; and the people with whom we enjoy it.

IMPROVING LIFE THROUGH FOOD

Want to connect more with your food, the environment, and the people in your community?
We offer classes, demonstrations, and experiences that each cover three areas of the food system: the production of food (grow), the preparation and preservation of food (cook), and the sharing and enjoyment of food (eat).
