June issue of the Grapevine is out now!

A jam-packed issue full of stories from across the Valley. We follow Ramona’s journey through Valley Community Learning Association and Steadman Farm, and how farmers markets and local food spaces are creating real pathways to work and community connection.

There’s a full season of theatre and live performance to dive into, from new shows at CentreStage Theatre, a Q&A with Two Planks and a Passion Theatre, to Acadia Performing Arts Series and its upcoming lineup of concerts and events.

A reflective piece from Valley Pride and what it means to be celebrating right now, Books by Local featuring Will Cooper’s Lotus, and a look at the Wolfville Wedding Chapel and how smaller, more intentional celebrations are changing the way people gather.
