Once the foundation of our communities, our economies, and of our cultural life, agriculture is hanging on by a thread — and the survival of even our best and brightest organic, biodynamic, and community-based farms is in question. Something new is clearly needed — a shift of consciousness, a change of heart, a revolution of our wills — that can help us imagine and create a new future for farming.

Please join us for an intimate gathering in Loveland, Colorado to:

• Reconnect with the sacred roots of agriculture and the spiritual vocation of the farmer
• Share promising initiatives and strategies that offer hope for the future of community-based farming
• Better understand the tangled web of challenges we face and envision more holistic approaches for our farms and communities
• Support one another in our challenging (and sometimes lonely) work as community-minded ecological farmers and agriculturally-minded social and economic visionaries

This is not a conference but an intimate gathering of farmers, thought leaders, and social entrepreneurs that will take place on a beautiful farm in Loveland, Colorado.
