SUMMARY:Virtual: Local Farms (Metrowest) – Produce\, Meats\, & Dairy
DESCRIPTION:Join the growing number of people who are buying their produce\, meats\, and dairy products from local farms. Not only is local food fresher than many options in the supermarket\, but supporting our local farms creates a more sustainable ecosystem. Sure\, you might not get raspberries in December\, but when you get them in August\, they will be the best tasting raspberries you could ever have! \nWorking with Ashland’s Town Sustainability Coordinator\, Samantha Riley\, we’ll have a panel of farmers who will help us understand the benefits of shopping for locally grown foods AND give us suggestions for reputable growers in our area.  We hope you can join us for this important discussion as climate change affects the way we live our daily lives. \nThis program is held in collaboration with the Bacon Free Library and the Ashland Public Library. \nPLEASE REGISTER HERE FOR THE ZOOM LINK \nRecording note: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program. It will also be available to view on the Ashland Library’s YouTube Channel.

SUMMARY:Virtual: Lost Treasures of the Titanic with Art Historian Mallory Mortillaro
