MAD RIVER VALLEY

Localvore Project

Celebrating and supporting local food in the Mad River Valley - those who eat it and those who grow it - through education, community connections, and collective wisdom.

   

Those who say it can't be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

John Dromgoole
