Pre-Conference Workshop

Growing Power One-Day Workshop Sept 5th

“Growing Your Community Food System” is an intensive, hands on, training workshop offering diverse groups the opportunity to learn, plan, develop, operate, and sustain community food projects. Project participants leave the workshop with improved skills that they can take back into their communities and pass on to others. These workshops are for both rural and urban projects.

We encourage you to bring several members of your group or operation to these workshops if you are interested in multiple topics; this is especially helpful if you are a member of a training or outreach organization. 

These workshops put organizations, projects, and food producers in touch with each other to help to build collaborations and long-term, sustainable partnerships. 
Please come prepared to get your hands dirty! Leave your dress shoes at home and wear your farmer duds.
