Meet Our Featured Speakers | Fee Waiver Applications Due Dec 1

Three outstanding keynote speakers, a corral of field-tested presenters, 56 educational sessions, and loads of special events await you at the 2018 Practical Tools and Solutions for Sustaining Family Farms Conference.       Mark Cain Come to the opening keynote on Friday morning and hear  Mark Cain of Dripping Springs Garden, share the story of building a dream, making a living, and making a life on a farm in Arkansas.    Mark's early inspirations for the farm came from meeting English gardening guru Alan Chadwick and natural-farming advocate Masanobu Fukuoka, and his eventual apprenticeship at the Farm and Garden Project of UCSC. Armed with a passionate love of gardening and nature, Mark and partner Michael Crane began to plant the seeds of their dream in 1984, on an abandoned blueberry farm near a clear Ozark mountain stream. Click to read more.       Davon Goodwin Join us on Saturday morning for a challenging and inspirational session on how to create a viable future for the next generation of farmers.    Davon Goodwin, a first-generation farmer in North Carolina and National Young Farmers Coalition (NYFC) board member, will talk about his hope for the future and how NFYC is supporting him in his farming dreams.    Lindsey Lusher Shute Lindsey Lusher Shute, the Executive Director of NYFC, will share her vision of hope for the next generation of farmers and discuss NYFC programs that help make that vision become reality. Then she will engage us more deeply in what it will take for the South to create an environment that nurtures and supports the future of young farmers like Davon. Click to read more.     Early-Birds!  Save Even More Be one of the first 50 people to register online using the coupon code and receive $5 off the general conference admission.
