During this time of change from fall to winter, the Legal Food Hub is also going through some changes. Our parent organization, Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) has decided that it will no longer host the Legal Food Hub after July 31, 2027, the end of CLF’s fiscal year. In the meantime, we will be working to find a new home for the Hub. This decision reflects broader organizational priorities and is not a reflection of the quality or importance of the Hub’s work.
Due to this decision, after November 20th, 2026, the Legal Food Hub will no longer be accepting new applications for pro bono legal assistance. We will temporarily close so that we can focus our efforts on finding a new home for the Hub. We will continue working to place the applicants we receive until November 20th. We will also continue to follow up on recently opened matters to ensure good placements through early 2027.
The Hub plays an important role in the New England food and farm system. We hope to find a new home that can carry on CLF’s legacy of connecting farmers, food businesses, and nonprofits in the food space with pro bono legal support.
If you have any suggestions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at legalfoodhub@clf.org.
