Good morning!

 

We find that attending conferences on organic/sustainable agriculture is one of the best things we do for our on-going education. Not only are there lots of interesting sessions, but the networking between growers is priceless.  One of the best in the south, the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Working Group (SSAWG) will be in Louisville, Kentucky for the second year January 25-28, 2007.  There are short courses on Thursday, field trips on Friday morning (one to our farm to look at our high tunnel winter growing) and over 50 sessions from soil building to insect management, grass husbanded livestock to community food systems, finances to agri-tourism.  Come and join us.  Last year we had over 900 attend!

 

And, if you’re in Kentucky, there are still some scholarships available.  Contact Karen Sigler, Kentucky State University, karen.sigler AT kysu.edu.

 

There may be scholarships in other Southern States as well.  Contact your SARE coordinator for your  state.

However you get here, it’s going to be fun – and very educational.  Hope to meet some of you!
