KEYNOTE: Matthew Raiford and Jovan Sage
Wednesday, Nov 18 10-11am MT
Join us for a conversation with Matthew Raiford, chef and farmer, and Jovan Sage, farmer, herbalist and healer, as they discuss how resilience in agriculture is based on the resilience of the people tending the land and cultivating the food. They will talk about their experiences raising food for themselves and their community, how health of farmers informs the health of farms, what they’ve learned from tending a multi-generational farm, and from the land itself.
This talk is free and open to the public!
