I wanted to
put up a second post about the Page County Grown Kick-off last weekend, which
also was part of the Luray Bicentennial Celebration. There were a couple of sponsors I wanted to
make a note of, and then I’d also gotten the name of the band wrong. So here you go.
The sponsors
who made the sold out event possible were the Page County Farmers Association,
MidAtlantic Farm Credit, Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative, and the Luray
Bicentennial Committee. The
locally-raise meal was prepared by Mimslyn Inn Executive Chef Chris Harris, and
the band was The Brennan Brothers Band – some of whom were previously in the
band I mentioned in the earlier post.
The Kick-off
event is where I first heard that the Page County Grown Second Annual Farm Tour
and Wine Dinner has been scheduled for August 4. This is a great way to spend a day at the
local farms learning about what’s grown here in Page County. A link to my posts from last year can be
found here:
Finally, a
quick check of the membership list of family farms that are part of Page County
Grown shows some growth this year. The
members, by product category, include:
The
Page County Grown website includes links to information about each of these farmers
– so for more info, check the organization out at http://pagecountygrown.com/!
