Join the conference to hear from two urban
agriculture pioneers, Ian Marvey and Dan Ross, to learn more about what is going on in our state and how
you can become involved!
The
conference will also feature a track of workshops focusing on strategies to close
Connecticut's food gap with urban agriculture, small farms and gardens. There will be a panel discussion on urban
food systems, a workshop on exciting urban gardening initiatives, and a panel
of young farmers who hope to dispel some myths about farming in Connecticut and
reach a growing audience of young first-time farmers.
Other sessions during this conference will
address "Edibles in the Landscape", "Is A Commercial Kitchen For You?", "Soil
Compaction", and "City Chickens" to name a few.
For those interested in raising and preparing their own food there are
workshops on bread making by Bantam Bread and cooking with winter vegetables by
Jonathan Rapp. For those more interested
in sustainable living there are workshops on global warming solutions and
making soaps and body butters with local ingredients.
Come out and join us!
