Conference Highlights

Kris Nichols kicked things off with her passion for mycorrhizal fungi and was incredibly generous with her time and knowledge. She answered questions and shared accessible tools to better understand our soils. Ellen Polishuk energized us to keep improving this growing season, emphasizing how to take care of all living things on the farm – including ourselves.

We screened “The Need to Grow” at the Port Theatre with the Director, Rob Herring in attendance. Plus, we hosted 40 exhibitors and sponsors in the annual trade show!

We were also featured in the local media! Check out this article from the Standard Freeholder on the event.
