Last night at the all farm meeting I brought up the idea of trying to attend a conference this summer in Milwaukee at Will Allen's Growing Power farm. The conference is centered around urban agriculture and will be bringing together leaders from around the country to speak on the subject.
I think it would be great for our farm to try to send 3-4 people. It will be a little expensive, but perhaps we can begin brainstorming now some ways to raise funds to help send some folks east! The cost will be a plane ticket and then registration/sleeping accommodations it which will be roughly $380/person.
The conference runs from September 10-12.
If you are interested in being part of a delegation to this event from the UW Farm - please e-mail me and we could get together and start planning our trip!
Thanks in advance.
See you at the Pizza Bake tomorrow!
