Organic Farming Conference Program - GoodFood World

WELCOME
welcome
Welcome to the 22nd Organic Farming Conference!
Thank you for joining us as we gather for our annual 22nd conference to share knowledge and
inspiration about growing healthy food and farmers. The opportunity to gather with farmers,
educators, students, researchers and industry leaders to learn is an event we look forward to each and
every year.
From browsing at the MOSES book sales area to bidding at the conference-wide silent auction, there is
plenty to see and do. New workshops and exhibitors, nightly entertainment, and increased networking
opportunities will round out an already packed schedule. We are also proud to offer a new series of
Young Organic Stewards workshops and activities. The conference is a celebration of both food and
farming, and we work hard to feed you both healthy food and good information.
Many thanks to our generous workshop presenters, sponsors, food donors, staff, and volunteers. They
make this conference a great success year after year.
We have designed this conference program as a reference for you to use during and after the
conference. Contact information is listed for presenters, exhibitors, and sponsors so that you can use it
as a future resource.
Your feedback and suggestions help us to plan and improve the conference; please complete the
conference evaluation form. Next year’s Organic Farming Conference will be held February 23-25, 2012,
in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
On behalf of the staff and board of the Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service, we hope the
conference provides the inspiration and information to make your farms and dreams grow.
Towards a healthy farming and food future,
