We invite attorneys interested in supporting the local food system to join our network. The Legal Food Hub is a pro bono legal services hub for farmers, food entrepreneurs, and organizations that support them. Join us to be a part of building a more sustainable, just food system.
If you are new to Food & Farm Law, these guides might be a helpful starting point. They have been designed as a reference to orient you to key legal issues facing our participants.
Attorney Council
Our Attorney Council is comprised of attorneys from across New England. Council members serve as advisors to the Legal Food Hub. These attorneys not only provide excellent services to participants but also support the Legal Food Hub by offering their expertise in pro bono, transactional legal matters.
