A healthy food system is supported by a healthy community, and vice versa! There are so many meaningful and enriching ways that we can participate in our local food systems. Volunteers are always welcome to work on the Full Plate farms, help plan events, share recipes, and share their brilliant new ideas for the Collective.

The Piggery
The Piggery, a pastured pork farm in Trumansburg, provides a fresh local meat share as another "side dish" for Full Plate members. You have probably seen them at the Ithaca Farmers' Market among other places: their sausage is yummy!
