Our Mission

To build skills among people in the Ohio River valley for raising, processing, preparing, and sharing food in traditional ways to improve the health of our people and our land and to prepare the way for a capable response to an uncertain future.

Learn the essentials~ get back to your roots

These days many Americans have lost touch with their food and the earth it comes from. As we shifted away from a close-knit localized society, we lost once-common skills like growing, processing, and cooking food from scratch. We lost connection to our community and our physical and our social health suffered. Heritage Food Festival offers a transformative journey back to these essential skills, empowering individuals to take control of their health and reconnect with their roots. Join us on this journey back towards a healthier and more fulfilling way of relating to food and farming.
