Stories from the Ridge

 Juneberry Jams, a celebration of music, food and farm, is scheduled to return over three weeks in June at Juneberry Ridge in Stanly County.

Experience the rhythm of the ridge and the bounty of summer at the fourth annual festival, which kicks off June 1 for another unforgettable season of homegrown live performances, enlightening guest speakers and regeneratively-farmed food.

Regenerative farming shares center stage with the music and food, and includes fireside chats with industry leaders such as Jack Algiere of Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture, author and educator Daniel Firth Griffith and Roger Dick of Uwharrie Bank. These experts will lead discussions about how farming is the future, and the important role our community plays in shaping a healthy food system for all.

“Regenerative agriculture is quickly becoming a buzz word across major industries,” says Ashton Thompson, chief operating officer of Juneberry Ridge. “There’s no better place to learn about soil health, local food, and holistic farm management than our local farms forging a path for healthier agriculture.”
