We want to help local food and agriculture businesses grow and thrive in the Petersburg region AND we need YOUR guidance to do it! Your perspective will greatly help us assess the need for a shared-use kitchen and food hub for the Petersburg region.

As you know, River Street Education is a community organization that supports local farmers and markets through the River Street Market and the Market at PPL (Petersburg Public Library), and its local food aggregation efforts. To deepen River Street Education’s support for local growers, producers, and food businesses, we’ve created this survey to explore interest in a shared-use certified kitchen and a food hub for the Petersburg region. The results of the survey will be used in a market analysis and will inform a feasibility study, which is being supported by LOCUS (formerly Virginia Community Capital).

If you have already completed this survey, there is no need to complete again. Your valuable responses have been recorded and incorporated.

Please share with others:

If you know of anyone else that may be interested in the shared-use certified kitchen or a food hub, we’d be grateful if you would forward the survey link to them.

We will follow up with a short synopsis of the survey results.

Sincerely,

Amy Wilson and Crista Manieri, River Street Market Team
