Farming for Justice – June Discussion Group: Equitable Fresh Food Access – Panel feat. VINES Farm Share

June 18, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am EDT

Registration here.

What role do we see ourselves playing in racial/economic justice work? What are the barriers we face and how can we support each other to step into further action?

This month, we will be hosting a panel featuring Kate Miller-Corcoran, of VINES Farm Share, Stephanie Roberts from Shared Roots Farm (VINES Partner Farm) and Lorna Swaine-Abdallah, VINES Farm Share volunteer and Graduate of the Food Bank Southern Tier Speakers’ Bureau (Expert by Experience). We will be discussing Community Supported Agriculture, and its role in creating equitable food access, and ways to improve on food insecurity within the community scope. Our hope is to engage farmers and consumers to create likemindedness around equity within the food system.

There is no cost to join! You’re encouraged to attend in person at the Groundswell Center office, or join us by Zoom. (Zoom info will be shared once you register.)

Contact us with questions or to suggest a topic or speaker.
