"Safe, Local, Organic: Building a Healthy Food Economy"
December 4-6, 2009 at the Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain, NC


Accommodations
Blue Ridge Assembly has a variety of lodging arrangements, but hurry, on-site rooms will sell out quickly. To see photos of accommodations and to reserve a room, go to www.blueridgeassembly.org. We encourage folks to double, triple and quadruple up in the rooms as they are designed for that. If we use the available rooms well, we can have lots more folks staying on-site. That will save everyone time, money and reduce our carbon footprint. Blue Ridge Assembly rooms are modern, but do not have TVs or telephones. This is in keeping with the retreat nature of the center.

Here is a sampling of off -site hotel options. For more details and more choices, see www.blackmountain.org or call the Black Mountain Chamber of Commerce at (828)669-2300 or toll free (800)669-2301.
