East Nantmeal Township Environmental Advisory Council hosts its April Sustainability Series event Local Food Systems, 7 p.m. April 28, at the East Nantmeal Township Building, 3383 Conestoga Road in Glenmoore.
“Think globally, eat locally” is the motto of Sam Cantrell, Executive Director of Maysie’s Farm Conservation Center, one of the event’s speakers.
Being raised on the farm, Sam’s work as a field biologist and his travels around the world compelled him to action. Sam is a pioneer in the Community Supported Agriculture movement.
Samantha Smenkowski and Zachary Heacock are a young couple who started as volunteers at a local farm four years ago realizing that their passions would soon turn into a full fledged life mission at Full Circle CSA. Sammy is an artist and a great cook who found a new canvas in the fields with vegetables as her medium. Zachary has a background in Permaculture and a longing to bring food, ecology and community together.
Moriah Bilenky, owner, manager, and sole employee of Moriah’s Horse Powered Farm was not raised on a farm and with little idea of what farm life meant, at the age of 10, Moriah knew she wanted to live on a farm and be a farmer. Today she starts her own farm – the most honorable profession she believed a person could do – growing food for people.
Join us in welcoming this month’s speakers on our local food systems.
