The Orange County Board of Commissioners is looking for an Orange County farmer to serve on the Piedmont Food and Agriculture Processing Center steering committee.
The project is a multi-county effort involving Alamance, Chatham, Durham and Orange counties and Weaver Street Market and Whole Foods. The shared-use facility located on Valley Forge Road in Hillsborough is scheduled to open in March 2011 and will provide a wide range of food-processing equipment in a commercial kitchen. Planning includes business-development education, especially for food-based businesses.
