Good afternoon folks!
 
I don't know about you all, but we are finally getting some cold weather
- and neither one of us is real happy about it.  But, what it does is
allow us the time to evaluate this year's efforts and start planning
improvements for next year.  One of the ways we learn about new
techniques is to go to some conferences.  One of the best that we know
of - if not THE best - is the Practical Tools and Solutions for
Sustaining Family Farms Conference that SSAWG offers each year.  This
year it is going to be in beautiful Chattanooga, Tennessee.  There will
be short courses (Paul and I will be teaching one on high tunnels),
interactive mini-courses, and field trips to local outstanding farming
operations as pre-conference offerings.  Then two days of fabulous
sessions, a Taste of Tennessee dinner with John Ikerd as keynote
speaker, lots of vendors with the things you really want to look at in
person rather than a catalog,  a silent auction that always has some
really cool items, and perhaps most importantly, the assemblage of some
of the best minds in sustainable agriculture in the South for all the
hallway discussions.
 
So, come to Chattanooga in January and join us.  You'll have the time of
your life and go back with many ideas for improving your farming
operation.  All the details are here:

often fill up fast, so don't put it off.  Wouldn't it make a great
Christmas gift for yourself or a best-loved farmer?

See you in January in Chattanooga!
