Local Agriculture

In 2008, RAIL hosted the Coalfields Agriculture Symposium, a three-week event focused on specialty agriculture that could diversify and strengthen southern West Virginia’s economy. Since then, RAIL has developed community gardens, organized farmers markets, and implemented demonstration and education projects that build on the food and agricultural heritage of Appalachia. Together with our local and regional partners, we’re showing that the local food movement has a place in Wyoming County.
