16th Annual Northern Michigan Small Farm Conference
Saturday, January 24, 2015
Below is more information about the conference:
The Northern Michigan Small Farm Conference serves as a vehicle to promote and build a local vibrant agriculture community, to equip the small farm community with the tools to be successful, and to be a forum for the
open exchange of ideas within the small farm community. This is accomplished primarily through the annual conference, but is also accomplished through the support of other education opportunities throughout the year.
Goals:
1. To provide an outstanding educational event that meets the needs of the attendees of the conference.
2. Provide a forum for the open exchange of ideas within the small farm community.
3. Support small farm educational programs throughout the year.
4. Help to build a local network of small farms, community businesses, and local government for the expressed purpose of building the local food economy.
