Swain County farmers, landowners, and other interested individuals are invited to share their thoughts and idea on a new farmland protection plan to support agriculture in Swain County.
A public forum will take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 31, at the Swain County Senior Center in Bryson City. A free dinner will be provided.
Attendees will be asked to share their ideas on the challenges facing agriculture in Swain County and what strategies might help protect the future of farming, such as conservation agreements, a community kitchen to produce farm products or new marketing strategies.
Here they are, books yammering for review: a hillock of books on the floor by the desk; more books stacked on the desk itself, squeezed between a basket of spectacles and a coffee cup filled with pens and pencils, the cup itself bearing Jefferson’s remark, “I cannot live without books;” two more books for review keeping company in the trunk of my car; a lone rider of a book on the arm of the sofa by the porch door.
