2. “Branding Locally Grown” Panel Discussion
Join the Chamber of Commerce Agribusiness
Committee and our distinguished panel for a
discussion regarding the marketing potential
for locally grown products in our area. Could we
market our own locally grown produce and other
products? Hear what’s already happening in our area
and other parts of the state and nation. We
encourage producers, consumers and vendors alike
to participate in this discussion.

3. Local Eggs are back!
After a long dry spell, we will begin carrying local
farm fresh eggs once again, this time from
Abundant Acres Farm near Williamsburg. Thanks
to Anna Lockhart and any future volunteers for
agreeing to make the weekly trip to pick up the eggs!!

fermenting enthusiasts Andy and Bev McDowell, from
Hidden Pond Farm in Centerville.
