The GALFA seeks to connect local growers with institutional buyers and individuals interested in locally produced and environmentally friendly food products while providing farmers with additional marketing options. GALFA also seeks to expand the community’s awareness of local food options, producers, and area availability. Also visit the link at http://web.grinnell.edu/cps/galfa/student_garden/index.htm.
