Harvesting Hope: Growing Family Farms Through Sustainability

Where are we going, how will we get there, and who are we taking with us. There are a number of things we need think about to ensure the success of a farm.  Some of the things we need to look at include what technology will take us into the future on our farm or what protocols and marketing needs do we address. Another is how do we bring in the next generation to successful transition. Learn about these ideas and more at the 2026 Food and Farming Conference.

Registration is open for the longest running beloved organic, sustainable, and regenerative farming conference in the region. With a slate of impressive and informative keynote speakers, great workshop presenters, and amazing tradeshow vendors ready to help improve your operation, that alone should be enough to draw you into this great event.  Add in the delicious organic food, the networking with like-minded people, the family-friendly atmosphere complete with workshops for the kids and you’ve just got to attend. Find the registration link below.

In addition to a great slate of keynotes and workshops for the full conference on Jan. 22-23, we have some impressive pre-conference in-depth sessions on Wednesday, January 21st.
