The Farmers' Speakout event held Feb. 16th at the First Presbyterian Church, was a most remarkable gathering of 200+ people with 37 farmers and others coming forward to the microphone to speak. The event lasted 3 hours and everyone who came forward and signed up to speak had a chance at the mike. It was a signifcant event and the beginning of many more round table discussions and working together on projects that develop the support network for local agriculture and local food infrastructure.
A report is being compiled of the event and you can get a copy of the DVD if you missed it. Please stayed tuned for the report and more related events.
Thank you to all who helped with the Farmers' Speakout and to all those who participated. The soup was divine and the community spirit with which this event came together was truly inspiring.
May the surging energy of Spring and new life be with you,
Colleen Blacklock
