BETHEL — The Mahoosuc Land Trust is inviting local author and farm owner Joann Grohman to speak 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 21, at the Gould Academy McLaughlin Science Center. It’s part of the trust’s Changing Nature Series.
The presentation is titled, “The Changing Nature of Farming.”
Land Trust member Jolan Ippolito said in a news release that Grohman, author of the book “Keeping a Family Cow,” has spent eight decades maintaining her family farm in Carthage. She was a recent presenter at the Weston A. Price Foundation’s Wise Traditions Conference and was featured in Down East Magazine.
Ippolito said a member of the Land Trust outreach committee that helped organize the Changing Nature Series is the media person at Gould Academy, and that Grohman’s son went to Gould.
“There was a whole bunch of connections that lead us to choose Joann,” Ippolito said. “We have a hodgepodge of topics in our Changing Nature Series, and one of the ideas was to do a presentation on farming. We thought Joann would fit perfectly for that talk.”
The next talk in the series is titled “The Changing Nature of Gardening” and will be held at 7 p.m. June 4 at the Rumford Public Library.
