You Can Help Virginia's Farmers: Write Your Lawmakers Today!

TrackBacks (0) Comments (0)

We need you to write your legislators in support of a bill (PDF) that is being introduced in the Virginia General Assembly, possibly as early as Tuesday, Jan. 18. This legislation would create a smoother procurement process for schools who want to buy local directly from farmers. We will update you as we know more about the scheduled hearings and other events.

For now, please visit this page to read more about the legislation and write members of the General Assembly to urge them to vote for the bill. Thank you!
