About Us

The Concord Tri-Valley chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation is in beautiful Contra Costa County located in the East Bay Area near San Francisco.  We serve Concord, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek and the Tri-Valley Area and beyond.
Myra Nissen applied to start the Concord Chapter become the Chapter Leader and in October of 2015, our first meeting was held January 20, 2016. The chapter name was changed to  Contra Costa Tri-Valley in 2018 to better represent our membership. In Dec. 2022 Patricia Moore came onboard as co-chapter leader. 
The chapter has regular meetings and activities to help members become familiar with local resources and to socialize with others interested in nourishing whole foods.  We would love to have you join us at our next meeting or event. Please contact us if you would like more information about our chapter. Please join our email group.
