Small Farm Conference @ Wilmington College

This weekend, the Clinton County OSU extension office is hosting a regional small-farm conference here at Wilmington College, and the schedule should be exciting to anyone remotely interested in small-scale food production.

There will be workshops on pastured poultry, Community Supported Agriculture systems, bee-keeping, starting a small farm, specialty crop production and dozens of others. The presenters for the workshops are a mix of local farmers, OSU extension educators and college professors from around Ohio.

The conference will begin on Friday, March 12 at 5:30 p.m. with a discussion called "A Night of Organics," which will explore all things organic farming. The workshops will begin in earnest on Saturday morning, with registration beginning at 7:30.

We highly recommend you look at the full schedule here, to see if any of the workshops are of interest to you.
