Annual Emerging Farmers Conference

The Annual Emerging Farmers Conference is set to take place at the Earle Brown Heritage Center in Brooklyn Center, United States. This 21st Annual Conference is rooted in a rich history that dates back to the 1970s food activist movement. The conference emerged from a collaborative effort among grassroots organizations, community advocates, and state partners, all aimed at empowering farmers with essential education and training. Over the past two decades, it has evolved into a vibrant, multi-lingual, and multicultural space that fosters connection and hands-on learning specifically for emerging farmers and farmers of color.The conference is designed by farmers, for farmers, ensuring that the content is relevant and beneficial to the audience. Attendees can expect to engage in various workshops that cater to their interests and needs. While walk-in registration is accepted, it's worth noting that Friday workshops are limited, indicating the high demand for this educational opportunity. Among the exhibitors participating in this year's event are prominent organizations such as Albert Lea Seed House, Inc., Egg|Plant Urban Farm Supply, and the MN Agriculture & Rural Leadership Program. This conference not only serves as a platform for learning but also as a vital networking opportunity for those in the agricultural sector.
