Auburn, California - Jan 18, 2012 - This is not just another conference packed with unexciting lectures on agriculture regulations, how to get better crops or best vaccine practices for livestock - far from it!  We have assembled a dynamic and highly energetic group of speakers from around the state of California on the subject of sustainable agriculture, social media, educating the next generation of farmers and how to integrate technology into 2012 planning. 

Whether currently farming, want to start, or want to learn about healthy, locally grown food, this year's conference has been planned just for you!  We want you to be a part of this conference, come meet the speakers, local farmers and local small businesses; make new friends, and experience how exciting supporting local agriculture can really be to our communities.

The keynote speaker for this event is J. Scott Vernon, an agri­cul­tural com­mu­ni­ca­tions pro­fes­sor at the Cal Poly State Uni­ver­sity, who helped found the group I Love Farmers...They Feed My Soul. This group has launched an ambi­tious cam­paign to inform the young peo­ple, pri­mar­ily in urban areas, about agri­cul­tural issues, and fam­ily farm­ing in particular.

Local farmers, agricultural. and active members of our farming community will have booths available to showcase themselves to attendees and the public.

You owe it to yourself to take a day and turn it into learning about local agriculture and where your food is coming from.
