Welcome to Our New Website - Website Under Construction Minimize
Welcome!

The County of Goochland, VA and its surrounding rural communities have long held a tradition based on an agricultural economy. The history, the stories and music, the arts and crafts, and the traditions all create a cultural tapestry woven from the "fiber" of a land-based lifestyle.

The mission of the Center for Rural Culture is to educate, promote and inspire members of our community to sustain a culture that supports agriculture and the local economy, protects natural and historic resources, and maintains our rural character and traditions.

The Center's work is challenging in the face of development pressures and it is up to each of us to preserve the cultural tapestry that makes us unique as a rural community.

The purpose of this site is to educate, promote and inspire individuals seeking to sustain our rural culture. Visitors will find information about Center activities, links to other sites, and information on sustainability.

Mission Statement Minimize
The Center for Rural Culture ("CRC") is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose mission is to education, promote, and inspire members of our community to sustain a culture that supports agriculture and the local economy, protects natural and historic resources, and maintains our rural character and traditions.  Since 2004, we have been working hard to provide the members of our community with quality programs that serve to sustain our rural culture.  As founders of the popular Goochland Farmers Market and as a licensee for our online Local Roots Food Co-op, we have helped to keep valuable agricultural land in sue by providing a means for farmers to sell fresh, local, seasonal food and other land based products.  We serve as a conduit for handing down the history, stories, music, and lifestyles related to a rich, rural culture and have helped to cultivate our local roots.

We also offer classes, workshops, movies, panel discussions, seminars and forums relating to land and water conservation, smart growth, sustainable agriculture and issues relating to our local food system.  Please contact us if you are interested in sponsoring or attending a CRC event.
