Regional
Food System Collaboration
Objective #4: Develop and advocate for a regional community food system.
Eastside Producers Informational Collaborative (EPIC)
LSFP is partnering with nonprofits, growers, businesses, and local food advocates to plan for the future of food and farming in Northeastern CA. Together, working on a USDA Regional Food System Partnership grant, folks from Lassen, Sierra, Modoc, and Plumas County aim to strengthen our regional markets, agriculture infrastructure, and food security.
[Funding for ‘EPIC Harvest: Building a Resilient Regional Food System in Remote Northeastern California’ was made possible by a grant/cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service. Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of the USDA.]
EPIC Regional Inventory Survey
The USDA planning grant is in the data collection phase and we have a survey for local producers, food businesses, and food system players. Please take this survey or share with someone you know who is involved in food and farming in Plumas County.
We invite you to complete a short survey to share your perspective on:
Your role (or potential role) in the local food system
Opportunities to strengthen connections between producers and consumers
Barriers related to infrastructure, distribution, and communication
How your organization could engage in both everyday and emergency food access efforts
Estimated time: 10–15 minutes
Survey closes: 12/15/25
