Together, they dive into perspectives and initiatives addressing veteran food security and highlight the Freedom from Hunger Campaign, a partnership between Mountaineer Food Bank and GoMart stores throughout West Virginia running all through February.

In the Rooted in the Mountain State Segment provided by the West Virginia Department of Agriculture we will learn about Black Dog Coffee in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.

We have all been facing the cold temperatures and lots of snow this winter, the other day during the cold Tom Susman noticed folks ice fishing on Turkey Run Lake in Ravenswood West Virginia. When you think of ice fishing you think on Wisconsin Michigan and Minnesota not West Virginia. In this segment we are going to talk with three hearty fishermen who braved the cold in search of trout.

Off-Roading with a Jeep, four-wheeler, side by side, or motorcycle is big business in this country and Appalachia is ground zero for some of the best trail systems in the country. In this segment we will hear from an advocate for off roaders in the state government State Senator Mark Maynard of Wayne County he has been a constant voice for those who off road. Then we will her from businessperson Chris Ingram who is developing a trail system in Kanawha and Fayette Counties and in the third interview will be with Gabe Roush of Point Pleasant. He is on city council and is involved with Main Street Point Pleasant. Each year the city participates in an event called 24 Hours of Appalachia and this year, off roaders will travel from Seneca Rocks in eastern West Virginia to Point Pleasant West Virginia.
