In Alpharetta’s ongoing efforts to develop a City Agriculture Plan, the city will conduct two additional community conversation meetings:

· 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Amana Academy, 285 South Main St. Register at www.tinyurl.com/AgrPlanMarch31

· 9 a.m. Saturday at Alpharetta Community Center, 175 Roswell St. Register at www.tinyurl.com/AgrPlanApril2

Earlier this year, Alpharetta was selected to develop the Metro Atlanta Region’s second City Agriculture Plan with the Atlanta Regional Commission and Food Well Alliance. Once in place, the plan will provide a roadmap for the community to improve pollinators and soil health, access to local food sources and strengthen farm-to-school programs over the next 5- 10 years.
