CALIFORNIA SMALL FARM CONFERENCE


As some of you may know, one Friday a month I manage the Richmond Farmers Market. I am being sent to the ‘California Small Farm Conference’ in Fresno California to enhance my knowledge and skills this weekend. This should be a fun and rewarding experience. It is also an excuse to go on a couple of Meat Adventures on the way. See you next week.

California Small Farm Conference
“The California Small Farm Conference is the state's premier gathering of small farmers, agricultural students, farmers’ market managers and others involved in the small farm industry. The three day educational conference includes day-long short courses and on-farm tours; focused workshops; engaging keynote addresses and numerous networking opportunities.”

  1. Sounds like fun! Fresno has an interesting little museum, too, if you have time. Natural history, history, and art all in the same building.

  5. This should be good. Not as good as Colorado's new "small farm conference" given their new legal crop, lol.

  6. Three Dogs BBQ, I am looking forward to the pictures.

    Chris, That crop is old news in California. I do not think that is a topic this weekend.
