Growing vegetables or grains? Growing organically or thinking about making the transition? Ready to find new market outlets?

One night to close the gap between what Virginia farms grow and what local buyers need.

The evening kicks off with a buyer panel featuring grain buyers from the distillery and milling world alongside diversified vegetable buyers from grocery, food hubs, and wholesale.

Join us from 5:30-8:30 to build relationships in our regional food system.

Here is to a more robust system moving forward - full of collaboration!

When we set out to put this gathering together, the goal wasn’t just to co-host an event. We wanted to create something useful, something meaningful, something that would stick with you long after you headed back home. Our intention was to help you think about the next step for your farm, your work, and your future.

We hoped folks would leave with new ideas, new connections, and a little more motivation than they came with, and we truly believe that happened.

Our partners, VABF Virginia Association for Biological Farming, Shepherd University, Shepherd University Farm, and Appalachian Cellar, speakers, and supporters gave their time, knowledge, and energy to make this something special, and we are deeply grateful to every one of them.

But more than anything, this only worked because of the people who showed up. The farmers, producers, and hardworking Appalachian folks who care enough to keep learning, keep growing, and keep showing up for each other. That’s the good stuff.

We are incredibly thankful for all of you.
