| High Point Public Library and Piedmont Environmental Center CO-HOST a free Program Exploring the Benefits of Buying and Growing Local Food High Point, North Carolina, Wednesday, May 13th at 6 p.m. The Piedmont Environmental Center at 1220 Penny Road High Point, NC will host a free program put together by the High Point Public Library exploring the benefits of supporting local food production.
Many Americans are worried about the rising cost of food and the uncertainty of how it is produced. Locally grown food is environmentally friendly and strengthens your community in many ways. Learn how you can support local growers, shop at farmers’ markets, and even grow your own food to eat, sell, and trade. Speakers from the Grateful Bread Baking Company and Urban Harvest will discuss the benefits of supporting local food producers and how to grow your own food with the space you already have. Program attendees will be invited to visit several exhibitors to learn more about local farms, buying and selling at local farmers’ markets and even sample food that has been produced locally. The High Point Public Library is offering this program off-site due to ongoing construction. This event is free and open to the public. If additional information or special assistance is needed, contact Megan Joyce by May 19, 2007 at 883-3646 or by TDD at 883-3675. |
