People of the community are invited to the first AGRIVA Coffee-Chat which will take place on Saturday morning between 9:30 and 11:00 am at the Hearst Rocheleau's Independant store. The group AGRIVA (www.agriva.ca), which is more and more active in the community, begins a new concept of Coffee-Chat which aims to inform the community about various subjects of the farm/local food produce sector and the added value products. Objective is to have this type of Coffee-Chat one time per month during the periods when the monthly market AGRIVA will not take place.

An economic project of the farm-produce sector will be officially launched during this first Coffee-Chat. The details of the expansion project of Miky's Smoke House will be revealed as well as the effects of the project in the economic development. Another important aspect which will be explained will be the available opportunities for entrepreneurs in the development of related products. A tasting will be also offered.

During the recent economic summit, the path of the farm/local food produce sector was identified by some of the participants as an important direction to follow for the region. The development of this sector would certainly help the community to progress towards the vision of auto sufficiency. In longer term, with climatic changes and world food crisis, farm/local food produce industry could become an important sector for our community.

We need good news in our community. Everyone is invited to this first Coffee-Chat to learn more about this new project of economic development within the farm-produce sector.
