Kyle Hence and the Sustainable Aquidneck team will introduce the work of this exciting new organization, which seeks to make "Aquidneck Island" synonymous with healthy citizens, quality produce and a strong, locally driven economy. Come learn about their many projects, including Island Community Farms in Middletown, which will launch this summer, and see how you can get involved.
