2017 Young Farmers Conference

Diversified farms (organic, biodynamic, agroecological, etc.) offer rare and powerful opportunities to explore our active connection to food, nature, and community. Our role is to take on the challenges of not only feeding our communities but also contributing to the generation of clean water and healthy soil, habitat, and culture. Diversified farmers struggle to generate returns that reflect the true market value of their dedicated efforts unless their customers perceive that added value and investment. Conveying this broader, more nuanced message can be challenging and intimidating, but it is a critical aspect of farm sustainability. Join Amigo and Jack in a practical conversation about implementing, sharing, and maintaining our highest ethics through storyteling, connection, and relationships.
