Greetings, producers and supporters of FL Agriculture and the SW FL Small Farmers Network (SWFSFN). We are very pleased to share with you this announcement of our regional conference to be held on April 1-2, 2016 in Ft Myers – see the attachment flyers. This will be a fantastic event featuring farm tours, field workshops, panel presentations, trade show and farm-to-table meals w/ locally grown foods. This conference is focusing on bringing these activities for a large region that stretches from Pinellas/Hillsborough to Collier to Miami-Dade/Broward counties, as well as any interested folks from other parts of FL.
The selected topics of this conference are designed to provide education and networking resources for a wide diversity of stakeholders of FL local food systems, e.g., from producers to consumers to processers to marketers to food system organizers. You do not want to miss this opportunity to meet the movers and shakers of our regional local food systems . . .
