Join us!
Land and Table hosts monthly events to connect, empower, and inspire regenerative farmers, ranchers, homesteaders, local food lovers, organic gardeners, homemakers, chicken whisperers, soil huggers, and all eaters! All are welcome!
Since late 2011 we have been hosting monthly potlucks around the Lynchburg, Virginia region. These meetings are designed for building local community, empowering local food production, advancing regenerative agriculture, reclaiming skills for a more self-reliant life, and much more. We currently host two potlucks each month: Bedford County (3rd Tuesday) and Amherst County (3rd Saturday).
See below for upcoming event info and 2025 monthly potluck dates:
