A Tale of Two Farms: Half Pint and Essex

The Local Food Project’s third annual conference is coming up on January 9, 2009 and the excitement is starting to build. It will be a full day, in-depth, knowledge-packed forum featuring two incredible farm projects from the Northeast. Speaking for the first time in Virginia, Essex Farm (Essex, NY) and Half Pint Farm (Burlington, VT) will present a complete and detailed picture of the innovative systems that have allowed their sustainable operations to flourish. Whether you’re a home gardener, a small farmer, a food policy expert, or a buyer and eater of local food, you’ll want to attend this unique event to learn about the key factors that make these farms so successful. Check back in the next few weeks for details on registration. We’ll also be posting background information on the speakers so you can begin thinking about the questions you want to ask them!
