California Small Farm Conference scheduled

Next year’s California Small Farm Conference is scheduled for Feb. 23-27 and it will be the 37th annual edition of the conference, which will be offered as a hybrid and bilingual event.

It will feature four days of virtual workshops and numerous in-person gatherings across the state.

 

The conference is geared to support smaller-scale farmers, ranchers and local food advocates by promoting education, resources and critical conversations.

Organized by the Community Alliance with Family Farmers, the event invites experts, farmers, service providers and advocates to share their knowledge and experiences.

Past conferences covered topics including whole orchard nutrient cycling, climate change adaption strategies, land stewardship, expanding food access for all with online SNAP payments for farmers, integrating livestock into cropping systems, growing relationships between growers and state prisons, increasing landscape resilience through whole systems planning, and transforming rural healthcare.

Workshop proposals are open for submission until Sept. 15, 2024. The conference also seeks sponsorships.
