Register for ACORN’s Annual Meeting
Local action and deep connection with neighbors is incredibly needed right now. Please join us as we celebrate another year in local food, connect with friends new and old, learn how we can take action to support our community, and enjoy a delicious light dinner from farmer-chef Janis Reinke from Frog Hollow Farmstead and the Farmstand Cafe. In addition to recapping the last year, we’ll hear stories from folks who work across the food supply chain:
Thelma Gomez, Migrant Justice (Statewide)
Changchang Ma, The Knoll Farm and Climate Action Fellow at Middlebury College (Middlebury)
Ava Murphey, Jump Rope Farm (New Haven)
Jacob Powsner, Baird Farm (Chittenden)
and more!
