Eat Retreat is an inclusive community of people working in food and agricultural. Our mission is to empower personal and professional growth through collaboration and immersive events, strengthening the food system within the communities we touch.
Our annual flagship retreat brings a tight-knit community of food and agriculture professionals together to do, share and grow. Read about past Eat Retreat events in Food & Wine and Edible Brooklyn.
