Welcome to the Tri-Valley Chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation, which encompasses Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore and beyond. We are a non-profit organization connecting like-minded individuals to farmers and other sources dedicated to supplying nutrient-dense foods for our tables by educating, learning and community activism. Our goal is to provide you with accurate nutrition instruction, support a number of movements that contribute to this objective including organic and biodynamic farming, pasture-feeding of livestock, community-supported farms, honest and informative labeling, and prepared and nurturing therapies.
