Local Food and Farms Day

Tuesday, February 17th, House Rotunda, WV State Capitol, 1900 Kanawha Blvd. East Charleston, WV. 8:30-12 PM

This Event is designed as a way to show the strength and vibrancy of the local food and agricultural sector in WV. We schedule legislative meetings for those who wish to speak with Senators and Delegates, our partners come to share about their projects, we host food system demos, and a West Virginia sourced breakfast!

Anyone who works or volunteers in this sector is invited to attend! The Coalition will even schedule legislative meetings on your behalf if you'd like to attend one. If this seems intimidating, don’t worry! We do it in teams and make sure that you have an experienced team leader to guide you through the process.

Agenda:

8:00-8:30 Set Up for Food Systems Partners

8:30-11:00 Tabling, Food System Demonstration, Scheduled Legislative Meetings

11:00 AM Reading of a Resolution During Floor Session and Recognition

Local Food and Farms Day Eve

@ Charleston Capitol Market, 800 Smith Street Charleston, WV. Monday, February 16th, 6pm tp 8pm.

This is a party! We invite farmers, food entrepreneurs, food systems partners, and legislators to come, eat, drink, and enjoy local music! We use this time to encourage those who work in food and agriculture to meet and mingle with legislators and share your challenges and opportunities.
