About

Our Mission

The Center for Rural Culture is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to preserving rural culture in the Central Virginia Piedmont. The Center for Rural Culture seeks to support local economies and agriculture, to protect rural landscapes and traditions, and conserve natural and historic resources.

Sharing knowledge is the key to preserving the rural fabric of our communities. The CRC sponsors local markets and presents programs, seminars, speakers, workshops and events that highlight the value and traditions of rural Virginia.
