Join us for a fun evening to explore local foods and economies!
Bring a non-perishable food item or cash to donate to the Hardwick Area Food Pantry and the Center for an Agricultural Economy's "Grow Your Own Program."
We'll explore questions such as, What is a durable economy, and how is it created and sustained? How are our food systems incorporated into our communities? What roles do local farms and food distributors play in developing a healthy, vibrant community? Come discuss with us on Friday, November 4th, beginning at 5 p.m. at the Vermont Food Venture Center in Hardwick. Leading the discussion are Rhonda Phillips and Bruce Seifer, co-authors of the book "Sustainable Communities: Creating a Durable Local Economy."
Following the discussion, there will be an opportunity to tour the facilities of the Food Venture Center.
