Hello everyone!

I (Jenn, farm manager) as well as many local Lehigh Valley farmers and food enthusiasts, are off to the 21st Annual Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture Conference at Penn State this week! I will be there from Wednesday through Saturday including an all day pre-conference track on Beginners Tractor Operation and Maintenance.

This is an all-around exciting opportunity for folks in PA and all over the Northeast to get together and share insight and information about sustainable agriculture.  The schedule includes two days of pre-conference tracks (Wed-Thurs) and two days of regular conference schedule (Fri-Sat). This includes time for discussion, socializing, and fun, but mostly two non-stop intensive days of workshops on various topics pertaining to food and sustainable ag.  Here is the 2012 PASA Conference Schedule.

I will be posting more info about the tracks that I attend and what I learn soon.  Happy February!

PS. To all 2011 Community Gardeners, keep an eye on your inboxes.  An email will be coming very soon!
