Lewi Lunches are quarterly potluck gatherings held at LSP’s Lewiston office. These events provide an opportunity to build community, connect with fellow farmers, share experiences, and enjoy a meal together.
LSP provides the main dish, offering both meat and vegetarian options, and attendees are encouraged to bring a dish to share. Lewi Lunches are open to the public—welcoming both members and non‑members. Each gathering features a special topic or guest speaker, announced in advance.
