The resolution introduced on March 26, 2025, designates March 27, 2025, as Local Food and Farm Day at the Legislature in West Virginia. It acknowledges the essential role of agriculture in the state's economy and community health, highlighting West Virginia's unique position as having the highest number of small farms per capita in the nation. The resolution emphasizes the diverse contributions of local farmers, who not only produce a variety of crops and livestock but also engage in value-added food entrepreneurship, creating products that reflect the state's culture and heritage.

Furthermore, the resolution recognizes the efforts of West Virginia farmers in ensuring food accessibility and nutrition education through various programs, including farm-to-school initiatives and the SNAP Stretch program, which has significantly benefited both farmers and low-income families. By designating this day, the Senate aims to honor the dedication of farmers and food entrepreneurs for their vital contributions to the agricultural sector, the economy, and the overall well-being of West Virginia residents. A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to the West Virginia Food and Farm Coalition to further promote awareness and appreciation of local food systems.
