Pompanoosuc Agricultural Society received a grant in 2010 for consulting/grantwriting in preparation to step up efforts and move from planning to implementation. After facilitating several 'smaller' projects like a community garden (NEGEF funded) and a farmer's market, this group is taking a next step to help move the local food system forward, pulling together a plan to launch a sub-state/regional food processing center to allow famers and small producers the opportunity to offer year-round local produce.
