| Good Foods Co-Op in Lexington sells food from local producers. |
UK Libraries will sponsor
"Thresh and Sow: The Past, Present, and Future of Agro-Food Economies
in Kentucky," a panel discussion at West Sixth Brewing (501 W. Sixth
Street, Lexington) on Monday, April 11, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Lilian Brislen, director
of The Food Connection at the UK College of Agriculture, Food, and Environment
will moderate the panel. The conversation will center around
Kentucky's transition from a tobacco-centered agricultural economy to a focus
on other crops and value-added food products.
The panel will include five prominent
figures in the local food economy: Henry County farmer and cattle rancher David
Neville; co-owner of Sweet Grass farm and Sweetgrass Granola Carolyn
Gahnn; director of New Roots Louisville and the Fresh Stop project Karyn
Moskowitz; Western Kentucky University folklorist and University
Press of Kentucky author Ann Ferrell; and Bill Bickford, general
manager of Good Foods Co-op.
Good Foods Co-op will provide light
refreshments for attendees and West Sixth’s usual drink offerings will be
available for purchase.
Join UK Libraries for this informal and
engaging event, which is free and open to the public.
