We will be bringing Slow Money Maine’s “On The Road” to Dover Foxcroft… All are invited. The morning will consist of networking, presentations, break out sessions and sharing food together.
Join us in discovering food enterprises and endeavors of interest to Piscataquis county and the nearby areas. Touching on food production, aggregation, distribution and food security; grain production; and the emerging interest of a local investment club. Together we will explore food system activities that are happening in the region.
Please sign up if you plan to come so that we can get a good estimate for food. Local treats for breakfast and a catered lunch are included in the day.

Why is Slow Money Maine taking our popular gatherings “On The Road”?
We have three primary intentions :
- We want to support our network participants in meeting their needs;
- We want to strengthen community relationships among those involved in our network; and
- We want to bring in new people, businesses, and organizations, to enhance our creative collaborations.
*Note: If you are coming from outside the region, we strongly encourage you to invite someone from the area (familiar or new to you) to bring to the event.
