It's now that time of year when the "farmer types" get together, have meetings, and make plans for the upcoming growing season. Yesterday, a group of "women in agriculture", aka members of PA WAgN got together. We met at Munnell Run Farm in Mercer County for a potluck dinner & informal meeting. Some of the folks were fairly local, but several came from a county or two away and some from as far as Clarion, Beaver, & Allegheny counties. It was an interesting cross-section of veggie, value-added, & livestock producers, as well as 4 college student/interns/exchange students from Allegheny College.
Check out some of the local growers who were enjoying the afternoon. They may be local to you!
