The High Country Food Hub, winner of the 2020 Boone Area Chamber of Commerce everGREEN Award for Sustainability, has been one of the most innovative business models in our community. As this unique arm of Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture found ways to scale during the onset of the COVID-19  pandemic, they excelled at enhancing market opportunities for our local agriculture community while keeping fresh food, produce, and other goods readily available in our region.Thanks to the awarding of a recent grant from the Golden Leaf Foundation, the High Country Food Hub is ready to expand their marketplace once again with the addition of their Satellite Project. This new outreach brings the convenience of a central pick-up point to more communities and neighborhoods throughout the High Country.Katie Ferrell, a long-time customer of the High Country Food Hub, now finds herself as the Satellite Project Coordinator. On this week's episode of Mind Your Business, she will tell us more about how the idea for satellite distribution was hatched, how customers can select these alternate locations for pick-up, and what this outreach will ultimately do to expand sales opportunities for our local agriculture community.Mind Your Business is produced each week thanks to a partnership between High Country Radio and Appalachian Commercial Real Estate.  Details about the 72th Boone Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting & FundraiserSupport the show (https://www.boonechamber.com/membership-information)

North Carolina lost a really important citizen, Kel Landis. Kel was a North Carolina zealot. Someone who lived a life where, as our farmers would say, he “plowed to the end of the row.” He was, in a very real way, a doer. He was CEO of Centura Bank, cofounded the Foundation of Renewal for Eastern North Carolina, Trustee of UNC Chapel Hill and ECSU, NC Community Foundation, and Golden LEAF Foundation. We wanted to replay our First in Future interview we did with him on UNCTV back in October 2017. In it we focused on his life, his thoughts about the future of small town North Carolina, and on a book he had just written. He called it “The Little Book of Do.”

Before podcasts, oral storytelling around a campfire, on a porch, at a reunion threaded together lives in a community. Guest Sarah Bryan was drawn to oral storytelling from an early age, sitting at the feet of her elders taking it all in. Sarah leads the NC Folklife Institute and will be leading a research project supported by the NC Humanities Council to plan an indepth project to capture the oral histories of the Turnage Theatre. Eric Martinez, AOP's Golden Leaf Foundation-supported summer intern has dug into the newspaper clippings of the past and memorabilia to add to the project so listen in to learn what they have found so far. Once complete, a permanent exhibit at the Turnage is planned, which Andre Nabors of Visit NC will assist in sharing with visitors to our community. Tune in to learn about this rich project to capture the history of a rare jewel, the Historic Turnage Theatre.Support the show (https://www.artsofthepamlico.org/support/)

On this First in Future episode, we talk with Scott Hamilton, president of the Golden LEAF Foundation. They have been in the news lately, working with the North Carolina Rural Center to jumpstart what they call the "Rapid Recovery Loan Program" to react to the needs of small businesses in the wake of the pandemic. Scott was in economic development for decades with a group called Advantage West of Western North Carolina. Then he led the Appalachian Regional Commission from DC, and now he is back in North Carolina.

In the late 1990’s, North Carolina leaders did something remarkable. As part of the national settlement agreement with tobacco companies, North Carolina was projected to receive an estimated $4.6 billion in payments, a couple of hundred million each year. Lawmakers mandated that a portion of the money go to establishing a foundation to help increase economic opportunity for rural and tobacco-dependent communities, a foundation known as Golden LEAF. This week’s guest, Dan Gerlach, is the president of the Golden LEAF Foundation. We talked about his thoughts on the rural and urban parts of the state and how we might reconnect and benefit from working together. We also learned about the Foundation’s role in hurricane recovery, especially with Matthew and now Florence.

More often than not, economic development begins with education. This concept is the basis of the 1:1 Laptop Initiative, funded by the Golden LEAF Foundation along with private funding from SAS and the NC General Assembly, which seeks to reform high schools by providing laptop computers to students and teachers in school districts in rural areas of the state. Created as a replicable model, the 1:1 initiative will guide the implementation of the program throughout North Carolina's public schools and afford all students access to a twenty-first-century classroom environment.
