Urban Agriculture Workgroup Meeting
Join us to as we discuss how to equip local families to growing and raising their own food.
We want to teach community members to raise and grow their own food. We will also train members of Smith County on how to divert potential agricultural waste to those in need. We have developed a directory of local agriculture resources, and are piloting a backyard gardening program for families. We will also be connecting local farmers with food pantries through Ample Harvest. Our team includes farmers, master gardeners, educators, and healthy food enthusiasts.
