The Sitka Local Foods Network is a volunteer-run non-profit based in Sitka, Alaska. It aims to increase the amount of locally produced and harvested food in the diets of Southeast Alaskans, with the goal of improving local food security, health and access to fresh food. Its main activities include running the Sitka Farmers Market, operating the St. Peters Fellowship Farm, supporting community and family gardens, offering food education classes, and supporting other local food projects. The network is governed by a board of seven to nine members, works with local partners and sponsors, and was created in 2009 after a Sitka Health Summit identified local food projects as community health priorities.
