An information and idea session will be held on Friday, February 25, 2022, at the Clarke County Fairgrounds Ruritan Building, to assist, and gather feedback from, those looking to start or grow their agribusiness in Winchester, Frederick County, or Clarke County, Virginia. Available assistance and tools will be discussed, and priorities will be formulated to help regional agritourism and agribusinesses thrive.

“We’re excited to be a part of this regional group initiative to support and encourage our agricultural businesses, which have for centuries been the backbone of the Northern Shenandoah Valley’s economy,” said Justin Kerns, Executive Director of the Winchester-Frederick County Convention and Visitors Bureau. “Our collective mission is to not only provide resources to those critical agribusinesses, but also gain input from them on how we can better support them, learn what new challenges they are facing, and share entrepreneurial ideas to encourage long-term success.”

The event is free; however, space is limited. Advance registration is required.
