The SFA Annual Conference, Minnesota’s farmer networking showcase, will be Feb. 13, 2016, at the Gorecki Center at the College of Saint Benedict in St. Joseph, Minn.

A founding concept of SFA is that there is wisdom in the community, so YOU will help to determine and lead the sessions, which will include casual but focused networking conversations on topics that you choose. Using an online voting system, SFA members chose session topics; we are creating the schedule around your wishes.

Again on Saturday morning will be our yearly Leaders Breakfast and SFA Awards ceremony at 7:30 a.m. – it’s just $15 and includes breakfast and a special “State of SFA” address. You must purchase the ticket to attend the breakfast.

New feature:  WOC Talks (Wisdom of the Community).  Similar to the popular TED Talks, this new program invites SFA members and supporters to submit talks on subjects relating to sustainable farming and food systems for possible selection to be presented at the Annual Conference.
