We had a chance to visit with a few more members earlier this month! We caught up with Katie C. and Tamsin at Hilltown Land Trust. Tamsin is serving as a Land Stewardship Coordinator with Hilltown Land Trust and Katie is serving as a CEC with both Hilltown and Grow Food Northampton. We snapped this as both members stood on Goshen Stones quarried in the hilltowns. We also had the chance to catch up with Caroline and Diego at Grow Food Northampton!
