"A wealth of experiences, knowledge, enjoyment, and reflection comes out of this creative economy," he told a town hall gathering. "The cultural economy has great impact.

Climate Farmers Stories
JAM presents "Climate Farmer Stories," a multimedia exhibit featuring 13 Upper Valley farmers. These farmers are using sustainable agricultural methods to combat climate change and create a resilient food supply. This exhibit is part of the Vital Communities' Climate Farmer Stories project, funded by the US Department of Agriculture. It aims to boost farmer income, reshape perceptions of farming and climate change, and enhance marketing skills for participating farmers. By supporting these climate-conscious farmers, we can invest in community resilience and climate action.
