We invite you to discuss the significant challenges, explore new opportunities and find solutions right alongside farmers and those who care about local food economies, what they eat, how it is grown, and the soil it is grown in.This Conference is a unique opportunity for smaller-acreage producers, small commercial farmers, chefs, activists, homesteaders, artisan producers, ranchers, researchers, and educators to gain insight, unite, and engage in conversations, workshops, a seed exchange, farm tours, and most importantly, to gather.
