2023 Farmers Convergence

June 20, 2023, Ridgewood Ranch, Willits, CA

After a three-year break, we enjoyed a productive and enriching day sharing ideas, networking, and exploring the challenges and rewards of our local farm community. Among the top topics – what are the strategies to make local farming and ranching viable? Also, round tables on selling to Farms to Schools; farm business check-in, recruiting & maintaining farm labor, medicine & full circle herbalism, restorative yoga, and more!

Thanks to all who helped organize, volunteer, present, and attend. It was a great day!
