Long term collaborations and new project ideas are common results of this 3-day conference for farmers, non profits, chefs, and anyone with an interest in healthy people, healthy planet. Highlights include farm tours, entertainments\and dancing, happy hours, workshops, wonderful meals and a marketplace of ideas and products
The theme “Cultivating Diversity” was chosen for the 2017 EcoFarm Conference.
While diversity is a fundamental feature of ecologically resilient farming, this year’s theme goes beyond the farm, speaking to human diversity. This year we honor the diversity of the many different ways to grow, tend, and care for our environment, as well as the unique and diverse individuals who do that work.
