Support New Sources of Local Food in the Valley: Help Make It Happen!
One of the compelling visions often shared at Valley Futures Network gatherings is of a future in which our community largely feeds itself with food grown by our neighbors, on the rich farmland in our Valley.
Please join friends and neighbors this Wednesday, February 18 at the Big Picture Theatre and Cafe from 6-9 pm to take a leap towards this vision of our future. A community potluck and fundraiser will kick off the final phase of the Vermont Land Trust’s campaign to conserve the Kingsbury Farm in Warren and the Bruce Farm on Route 100B in Moretown.
The conservation of these farms will lead to their revival as food-producing farms. The Kingsbury Farm will pass into the hands of the Vermont Foodbank and the Bruce farm will be affordable to an energetic couple eager to grow fresh vegetables and offer eggs and meat, particularly to those at the northern end of our Valley.
We have less than two months to raise the money needed to leverage over $278,000 in State and Federal Funds. Visit http://www.vlt.org/MRVcampaign.html to learn more about the Mad River Valley Two Farm Campaign. Spread the word and help make our future happen!
