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: http://www.ssawg.org/conference-.html
The short courses and field trips 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!
