Monadnock Menus: Help us Get Local on the Menus

Monadnock Menus is a new initiative of the MFCC Infrastructure Committee for farmers, restaurants and chefs in our region.  The goal is to get more restaurants to serve local food, and to create a community where local food is easy to find by identifying restaurants that are serving local food.

If you own or manage farm or forest land, or grow specialty crops in New Hampshire, then the 2008 Farm Bill conservation programs can help you address natural resource concerns and opportunities on your land. Please call 603-756-2988 ext.116 to learn more.
