The Northwest Native Chamber’s Food Pathways is a culturally-specific program designed to empower Native and Indigenous producers, food entrepreneurs, and agricultural business owners to thrive in the Northwest’s food and agriculture industries.
In partnership with the Native American Agriculture Fund (NAAF), Food Pathways combines culturally specific technical assistance with a dynamic blend of one-on-one support, group-based curriculum, and online learning modules.
This program provides the tools, guidance, and resources you need to grow a sustainable business; whether you’re cultivating land, building a food brand, or exploring culinary entrepreneurship; while preserving the values and traditions of Indigenous food systems.
