A FARM TO PLATE OPEN FORUM WITH ELLEN KAHLER

NORTHSHIRE BOOKSTORE, Manchester Center, VT: Join the conversation about Vermont’s local and regional food system Friday, September 23 at 7 pm

Join the conversation as we welcome Executive Director of the Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund, Ellen Kahler, who will present the highlights from the statewide, 18-month long Farm to Plate strategic process, which many Bennington County residents participated in. Come learn about the Farm to Plate Strategic Plan that was released this past January and efforts underway all over the state to begin implementing the recommendations contained in the plan. How does Bennington County stack up against what's happening in other parts of the state? How can you get involved? Help us think about ways we can stimulate more local and regional food production and consumption in the greater Manchester area.

Transition Town Manchester will have some fresh local food to snack on as you digest her information.
