Renovation has begun!

Work has begun on transforming 6,000 square feet in the former Amos and Smith Hosiery Mill in downtown Pilot Mountain for the Pilot Mountain Pride Agriculture Center. This is were local farmers will bring their fresh, locally grown produce to be aggregated and distributed in the greater Winston-Salem area. Beginning in the Spring of 2010, local restuarants, grocers, and institutions will have the ability to buy truly locally grown produce assisting in efforts to support local farmers and giving consumers in the Winston-Salem area an option when considering the sustainability of our area's food distribution system. Instead of buying produce that has travelled upwards of 1,500 miles to the Winston-Salem area, consumers will have the ability to choose produce that has travelled a maximum of 25 miles from downtown Pilot Mountain.
