GOAT Collaborative's at Resilience Ranch in Marion aims to support farms, environment, community
Just south of Marion, a new nonprofit organization seeks to grow and provide food to western North Carolina, support environmental stewardship and host events to cultivate community.
Last week, the McDowell Chamber of Commerce and the Rutherford Chamber of Commerce came together to celebrate the opening of the GOAT Collaborative with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
This collaborative is a nonprofit based in Marion "with a simple but powerful goal: strengthen the organizations that strengthen our communities."
