To provide enhanced educational and entrepreneurial opportunities and support through local partnerships and the exchanging of resources, knowledge, and experience to create community resilience.
The Local Exchange is a nonprofit organization currently serving Wayne, Lincoln, and Cabell counties of West Virginia, and we are in the community building business!
We strive to create a more sustainable, resilient community of families and entrepreneurs with a "do it yourself" attitude, promoting small-scale agriculture, homesteading, artisanal makers, specialty producers, and more.
We have been in operation since 2020, and have supplied education and supports for families and individuals seeking organic gardening education in our area. However, we are working to expand our education, services, and footprint to build more opportunity for small business growth and individual family resilience to further create access to homegrown, fresh foods and locally sourced and handcrafted products.
Our motto, like a true Homesteader, is to use what our communities already have in place as resources to build the skills, knowledge, and relationships our people want to obtain so that their businesses and families can thrive.
