Congratulations to the Fall participants of our Take Root programming! Last Friday we gathered to celebrate their accomplishments. They've put in a lot of hard work over the last several months learning about local food systems, and we hope to see them and their peers again!🥳

Special thanks to City of Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority and Gregory Goodman for allowing us to host our end of session celebration at The EnVision Center and thanks to Queen's Vegan Cafe, LLC for making the delicious meal we enjoyed.
