Internationally known speakers on how to farm sustainably are coming to Grass Valley, California!

A yeasty combo of keynote speakers, face-to-face chats with famous farmers, workshops, and exhibits awaits you in downtown Grass Valley over the weekend of January 19 and 20.

The Sustainable Food and Farm Conference is for you if
1) you care about growing (or eating) sustainable food,
2) you’re a farmer who wants more ideas to grow better this year, or
