This was a fantastic event, and we were honored to help sponsor it! Each Bland County Farm Bureau Membership contributes to our efforts to support local education and enhance our agricultural future!

The 2026 Food Preservation Conference at the Wytheville Meeting Center was a huge success! 64 participants attended from across the district and over 30 volunteers or instructors made the day possible.
A huge thank you to our Southwest District Family and Consumer Science agents pictured below! They worked extremely hard throughout 2025 and 2026 to make this happen.

Thank you again to our sponsors:
Gold: Big Walker Soil and Water Conservation District and Red Hill General Store
Silver: Bland County Farm Bureau
Bronze: Kiwanis Club of Wythe County, Wytheville Moose Lodge #394, and Somic America, Inc

Without their support, this day would not have been possible!

Nothing says summer like Virginia-grown
watermelon! 🍉With 241 farms cultivating 595
acres of these refreshing giants, now's the
perfect time to grab one at your local farmers
market or produce stand. Pro tip: Look for a
yellow spot on the bottom—that's your ripeness
indicator!

Sweet fact: It takes 3 gallons of milk to make 1
gallon of ice cream! That means one dairy cow
produces enough milk for approximately 3
gallons of ice cream daily. 🍦🐄

What's your go-to ice cream flavor or your
favorite local creamery? Let us know in the
comments!
