Agriculture & Food Conference of Southeastern Massachusetts
February 25, 2012

You're invited to the 5th Annual Conference!
Presented by SEMAP and Bristol County Conservation District
Saturday, February 25, 2012, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm
Bristol County Agricultural High School, 135 Center Street, Dighton MA

Whether you're a professional farmer, a backyard gardener, or just curious about locally grown food, this is the event for you! This year there are expanded offerings to include workshops for the public and for youth ages 9-12, as well as workshops on organic methods.

Registration includes a locally-sourced lunch (yes, in February!) and at the Resource Fair you'll learn about local organizations and businesses that provide services and products to help you grow, whether you've got a hundred acres or a couple of window boxes. Registration is $35 for farmers, $50 for the public, and $20 for youth and students. Businesses or organizations interested in exhibiting can contact us at farmconference@semaponline.org.

Read on below for information about all our information-packed workshops - 18 to date! And be sure to check back for updates as February 25th draws near.
