23rd Annual Sustainable Agriculture Conference
October 31- November 2, 2008
in Anderson, South Carolina (map)

The three-day conference will feature tours of Upstate-area sustainable farms, a day-long organic certification class, a youth program, and over 60 workshops on topics from organic crop production, humane livestock management, and unique farming techniques; to nutrition, seasonal cooking, and grassroots organizing. The meals, prepared using the best local ingredients, are always a conference highlight. This is the event of the year for anyone involved or interested in sustainable farming, gardening and/or living.

The conference is made possible in part thanks to Anderson County’s competitive bid to host the event. “With its innovative farm-to-school programs and its investments in the local food infrastructure, Anderson County is a role model for the Southeast,” said McReynolds. “CFSA is working to help other Carolina communities make that same commitment to sustainable agriculture, which is a food and farming system that is good for the farmer, good for the consumer, and good for the land.”
