Farming as a Business
Thursday, April 4, 5:30 pm
The Inn at Charles Town 

As we round the corner to our next season and start to consider planting our own home garden or visiting the local farmers markets, join us as we welcome Smith Meadows Farm and Panorama at the Peak to discuss "Farming as a Business". Jefferson County Development Authority's Ag Development Officer will be moderating on the evolution of agricultural development and discussing the opportunity for your small business to participate in the Charles Town Farmers Market.  We invite you to listen to the journey and evolution of Nancy Polo and Forrest Pritchard as they detail how they have adapted and saved their farm. From a crash course in sustainable agriculture in 1996 to a new book release (Gaining Ground), Smith Meadow Farm is truly a local experience.  Patti Miller with Panorama at the Peak will provide an update on aggregation and distribution issues.
