Dear Shenandoah Valley Food and Farm Network,
There are still a couple of seats left for next Tuesday’s trip to Athens, OH. We will visit The Appalachian Center for Economic Network (ACEnet) and Snowville Creamery as planned. I have also made arrangements to visit Shagbark Seed and Mill (http://www.athensohio.com/30mile/500/shagbark-seed-mill-company) since they are close neighbors to ACEnet.
Please let us know if you would like to participate in the tour. I have also included a recent post from the Virginia Farm to Table blog and website. The post, Emerging Local Goodness: Community Supported Investment, highlights some area innovations. http://virginiafarmtotable.org/emerging-local-goodness-community-supported-investment/
Best regards,
Eric
