The
Tilth Producers Annual Conference
was held on
November 13-15, 2009
at the
Yakima Convention Center
Although
this conference has already occurred, we want
you to know
About the
Conference
so you'll want to attend next year.
Events began Friday with a
one-day symposium on advanced organic farming
practices. A welcome reception and value-added
farm product tasting preceded dinner and evening
workshops. New this year, Tilth Producers offered
a series of Spanish language workshops on both
Saturday and Sunday. Dr. E. Ann Clark offered her
keynote Saturday morning on finding the common
ground between organic and sustainable
agriculture. The keynote was followed by the
Tilth Producers’ annual meeting and board
elections. Saturday afternoon brought workshops,
then evening celebration — a retailer and farmer
meet and greet, organic wine tasting, trade
show, silent auction, banquet and dance. Sunday
consisted of three full sets of workshops, after which
the conference ended at 3:00 pm.
