Thank you for participating in the 2022 Conference!

The 17th Annual Emerging Farmers Conference was held November 12-13, 2022. It was a pleasure to bring together so many in the spirit of supporting emerging farmers. Post-pandemic many of us are hungry for connection and so many wonderful connections came out of the weekend. We hope you learned something new, made connections, and feel empowered!
