Grower to Grower

/in , , , /by

Friendly City Food Co-op & Sustainability Matters are hosting a free post-season meet & greet for commercial growers! Unload the stress of the growing season, and share challenges, solutions, and marketing thoughts. Find partners, mentors, and maybe even buyers for next season.

All commercial growers, serious homesteaders, and those in grower-adjacent fields (buyers, lenders, agency folk, etc.) are welcome.

There’ll be free food and a cash bar, with non-alcoholic drinks available. Registration requested, so we make sure to have enough food! Please register here!

Sponsored by Rockingham Cooperative.

Round Up at the Register for Generations Crossing

/in /by

It’s time for another Round Up at the Register! December 4th-December 17th we will be rounding up for Generations Crossing.

They are the only intergenerational day care center in Shenandoah Valley. The program gives children the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with adults that build respect and dignity between generations. 
 
The mission of Generations Crossing is to serve the community’s most vulnerable population by providing compassionate, high quality, intergenerational care that encourages connection, growth, and fellowship. 
 
Money raised from this Round Up will go towards classroom supplies and improvements. We hope you choose to round up or donate for this great cause while you’re checking out!
