This event will explore the Blue Zones concept, emphasizing life expectancy and well-being. Through panel discussions and a subsequent hands-on cooking series in the new year, we’ll delve into how the Power 9 Pillars can enhance our community's health and connectivity. Discover practical steps to embrace these principles locally and contribute to a healthier, more connected community. Join us as we celebrate 10 years of progress in Northern Michigan with Groundwork’s Farms, Food, and Health initiatives.
