Hi,
I am having trouble viewing: Practical Tools and Solutions for Sustaining Family Farms Conference, Wednesday January 19, 2011 All day 5 hours ago . When I click on that link, I am told I do not have permission to view that page. I don't know if that link is broken or if I am not properly registered here. Thank you so much. Sincerely, Moira McCormick
Please learn more about the Polk County Agri-Tour at our website: http://www.polkcountyfarms.org .
The Polk County Agri Tour day should be really fun, with free samples, petting animals, and a hayride at one stop!
The dinner ticket for the celebration evening at Giardini Trattoria (http://giardinigardens.com/id2.html) is a separate purchase. A portion of the dinner ticket sales will benefit the Mill Spring Agricultural Development Center. Please contact me at my office in Columbus (just over the SC border!)at (828)-894-2281 or at mmccormick@polknc.org.
Hey,
I'd like to invite you all to the first annual Polk County Agri-Tour and Celebration Dinner on Saturday, June 26, 2010. Come learn about local food and other agricultural-related ventures in and around Polk County and help us raise funds for the Mill Spring Agricultural Development Center, a business incubator for agricultural ventures in Polk County. From 9AM to 5PM on Saturday, June 26, in and around Polk County, including the Cliffs Organic Farm in Marietta, South Carolina. Participants will purchase $25 vehicle passes, with which any number of people in that vehicle may visit the participating farms during each farm's specified hours. Passes will be sold before the event, as well as at each stop during the event. Farm tour participants are encouraged to bring a cooler and cash to make purchases that day, as well as to wear farm-appropriate clothing. The farm tour will happen rain or shine, but individual host sites may use their discretion about weather. Please find participating farmers and their profiles, attached. The day will culminate in a celebration dinner at Giardini Trattoria in Columbus at 7PM, complete with locally-sourced dishes and live music. A portion of dinner tickets benefits the Mill Spring Agricultural Development Center. The dinner may be called Culinary Celebration at the Source, or, Be part of the Story from Topsoil to Table. Watch a slide show of local farmers and farms, as well as the Mill Spring Agricultural Development Center.
