Silent Auction for Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture
Help BRWIA build an equitable and sustainable food system!
About BRWIA
Organized in 2003, Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture is a women-led organization that builds an equitable, sustainable High Country local food system by supporting producers and cultivating community connections that educate, inspire, and increase the demand for local food.
This fall, as an addition to our End of Year Campaign, we are launching a celebratory Virtual Silent Auction. We've gathered together items that represent our local food system and the place that we call home.
We invite you to support our work by participating in the Virtual Silent Auction (beginning Sunday, December 6th) and by continuing to show your support for local food.
With your support, we can envision an equitable food system where producers are thriving and local food is accessible to all. To learn more about our programs, please click here.
