24th Sustainable Agriculture Conference

This year, our annual SAC will take place at the YWCA Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain, North Carolina. From December 4-6, 2009, this event will include workshops for beginner gardeners to advanced organic growers. Some things to look forwards to:  Workshops on Biochar, Organic Strawberries, Cooking Locally, Organic Weed Control, Pollinators, Pastured Poultry, Soils 101, Crop Mobs, Organic Grains, Food Preservation, Renewable Energy on the Farm…and of course, really good food. 

I visited the conference venue just this week. The Blue Ridge Assembly is not your average conference site… it’s a retreat center.  Acres of Carolina mountains, nice accommodations, hiking trails and lots of places to relax. As always, we’ll source food from area farms to provide conference attendees with organic food.

The Sustainable Agriculture Conference draws foodies and farmers from all over the South to focus on our sustainable food future. It’s an important networking and educational opportunity, so make sure to register early to join us. Hope to see you there!
