Garrett County Health Fair

4/14/2018

1 Comment

 
The Western Maryland Food Council had a table at this year's Garrett County Health Fair! Hosted by the Health Department at the Garrett College CARC, this event was attended by many in the community and was a great opportunity to spread the word about the food council. There was a free raffle for a CSA veggie box subscription, donated by Garrett Growers, which was drawn that day. Our new banners were also put to use, along with rack cards and brochures that were given out to potential work group members.

The Washington County branch of the WMFC hosted a local food forum at Big Cork Winery on February 2, 2018. This event was a huge success! There were 24 venders providing samples and selling their local food products, with over 100 people in attendance. Those who attended were able to connect with local vendors, learn about what local foods are available, and pose for a picture with Felix the Groundhog!

A big thank you to the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future for their facilitation of our launch event held December 9, 2016 in Frostburg!  

As you can see, the room was full and lots of ideas were flowing for ways for our communities in Western Maryland to affect change in the local food system!  

The food was catered by Shift - and was phenomenal!
