The Pitt County Farm and Food Council is a group of thirteen Pitt County residents appointed by the County Commissioners. They represent a cross sector of those who seek to improve Pitt County's local food system.
They envision a farm and food council that will serve the Pitt County community by:
• Performing research on our community food system
• Working towards creating access for healthy food for all
• Engaging the community through education and networking
• Working to support local businesses and strengthen local farms
• Supporting farm to school efforts
• Promoting local agriculture
• Working to connect all parts of our community food system
• Creating a community network for learning and shared resources
Mission

Vision
Our vision is for Pitt County to be an informed, engaged and healthy community with access to nutritious food and a commitment to continuously improving our community food system.
