Food Business Owner Survey

We are the La Plata Food Equity Coalition, a group of community members, service providers, public entities, and nonprofit organizations interested in learning more about how we can become a county that supports small food business and entrepreneurship as a way to increase food access and economic equity in our community.

The purpose of this survey is to understand your  experience as a small food business owner and what it takes to create a business-friendly, inclusive environment in our county.

Answers will be kept confidential and used only for planning purposes.   For more information please contact LPFEC Food Business Workgroup Manager, Erin Jolley at foodaccess@goodfoodcollective.org.
