Changes: Local Agricultural Community Exchange

Revision as of 06:16, 29 April 2009

Local Agricultural Community Exchange is an activist organization founded by Warren Zevon's daughter Ariel Zevon and others, dedicated to supporting family farming, farmer's markets, organic food, and urban/rural relations.

History

After Ariel Zevon and Ben Powel were married, they vowed to move to Vermont if they had children. After this came to pass they kept true to their earlier decision by moving to Barre, Vermont. There Ariel founded Local Agricultural Community Exchange. The organization has even been supported by Ariel's godfather Jackson Browne playing benefit concerts for the group. Ariel and her husband still work at expanding LACE, as well as a burgeoning group of volunteers.
