🌿 What an incredible evening! 🌿
Last night, more than 30 community members joined us for our Home Food Production Workshop, and what an inspiring evening it was!
What began as a workshop quickly became a conversation. People came ready with thoughtful questions, practical experiences, and a genuine desire to learn more about New Hampshire's home food laws and the opportunities they create. The energy in the room was incredible.
This event was made possible through the collaboration of The Well Collaborative NH, the Claremont Growers Collective, and the Sullivan County Conservation District. Thank you to each organization for helping bring this educational opportunity to our community. When local organizations work together, great things happen.
A special thank you to Royann Bossidy for leading the workshop and sharing her knowledge with such warmth, patience, and enthusiasm. The extended question-and-answer discussion was one of the highlights of the evening, giving participants the chance to explore their own ideas and leave with practical information they can put to use.
Most of all, thank you to everyone who attended. Your curiosity, engagement, and willingness to ask questions made this workshop a success. Seeing so many people interested in local food, home food production, and building a stronger regional food system is incredibly encouraging.
🌱 Because of the overwhelming response, we're excited to begin planning a virtual version of this workshop in the coming weeks so people from across New Hampshire—and beyond—can join the conversation. If you weren't able to attend this one, don't worry. We'll be sharing details as soon as they're available!
This is exactly why we do this work. Every new connection, every question, and every person empowered with good information helps strengthen our local food system and our community. We can't wait to continue the conversation.
