About Us
The Belmont Food Collaborative (BFC) was created in June of 2009 as an umbrella organization over the Belmont Farmers’ Market. We’ve grown and added many projects over the years.
BFC is run by a Board of Directors, but depends heavily on the work of volunteers. Let us know if you’re interested and we’ll find a place for you in this great organization.
