Eat Local, Feed Local


Convivium is a nonprofit whose mission is to improve life through food. We focus on three areas: the production of food, the preparation of food, and the enjoyment of food.

Your patronage at Convivium, whether it is by taking a gardening class, ordering from our catering menu, or grabbing brunch with your friends, helps to support our outreach efforts to eliminate food insecurity in our community.
