Concluding the 2023 California Small Farm Conference, join us at the in-person regional gathering for the Sacramento Region (including Sac Valley, Northern San Joaquin and Sierra Foothills) at beautiful Killdeer Farms (with flower farmers Christine & Scott Calvin)! This event is meant to be primarily for farmers, but technical assistance providers and farm advocates are welcome to join as well. Come share your thoughts, questions, reflections, or just reconnect with farmer friends, new and old.
