MWVEG, a volunteer organization devoted to building a vital local food movement, will be hosting a
virtual Annual Gathering at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 25th. This event is MWVEG's 3rd Annual
Gathering. It is a great opportunity for local farmers and local food enthusiasts alike to share their
support for the mission of MWVEG: to strengthen the regional food system through communication,
collaboration, and cooperation. The event is both an informational year in review, and an educational
presentation by UNH Cooperative Extension Vegetable Specialist and UNH educator Dr. Becky Sideman.
Dr. Sideman will bring notes of inspiration from the worldwide movement of small-scale farming and
chat about how growers and eaters interface around the world. Her keynote will be followed by group
discussion about how we can encourage these themes locally.

Included in the evening’s activities will be a sharing of MWVEG's current online auction that is
raising funds to address the inequities and challenges in local food access. Through this auction, MWVEG
is seeking to raise funds for those community members who struggle financially to purchase local food.
The Online Silent Auction runs from noon on Friday 2/19 to noon on Saturday 2/27. More details on the
auction at: https://mwveg.com/food-access-auction
