UPCOMING SPEAKER

Maureen McGonagle

April 29

Join us Wednesday for our weekly meeting in Charter Hall on the third floor of the City Market Building; networking and lunch begin at 12:00PM. We will listen to Maureen McGonagle, Roanoke Foodshed Network Director, talk about connecting farmers, food businesses, institutions, and communities. This presentation will also highlight how building a more connected, abundant, and resilient food system through collaboration, regional marketing initiatives like the Roanoke Food and Farm Trail, and strategic partnerships can drive economic and community impact.

Maureen spent the past 19 years living in Southwest Virginia working across many dimensions of the regional food system. She worked on a small-scale vegetable farm, supported nutrition incentive programs at the Blacksburg Farmers Market, ran community gardens with the New River Health District, and researched community food systems through a Master’s program in Agriculture, Leadership, and Community Education at Virginia Tech.
