Exciting News for Georgia Sustainable Farmers

The Georgia Organics Annual Conference will be held March 8-10, 2007 and we just got word that Joel Salatin will be the keynote speaker at the conference.  Joel is one of the leaders in sustainable farming for a local customer base, emphasizing a diversified approach that treats both the land and the animals in a humane, responsible manner.  The bonus is that his approach also creates great tasting and nutritous food!

I have heard that Joel is a great speaker; I have read two of his books, Holy Cows and Hog Heaven, which I reviewed here on my blog earlier in the summer, and Family Friendly Farming.  Now that I know he's speaking at the conference, I'll have to get cracking on Pastured Poultry Profits, which is the next one I think has relevance to our homestead.

All of you Georgia, Alabama, north Florida and maybe even South Carolina readers will want to consider this conference as a great eduational opportunity.  My husband and I went last year and were blown away with all that we learned.  The inspiration is motivation enough to sign up, but the content and the contacts we made were worth the price of admission.

Let me know if you sign up so all of us Homestead Bloggers can meet up in a corner and exchange the secret handshake!
