Grower's Own Conference

This is a special opportunity to network, share and learn with fellow
farmers.

Friday evening opens with photographic farm tours from Idaho farmers. 

Saturday features discussions in the round: a farmer-to-farmer exchange. And
you get to help decide on the topics to be discussed! Concurrent sessions
will be offered to cover the different interests of those attending, whether
you are growing produce or grains or raising livestock.

Sessions at Grower's Own focus on organic farming methods. Anyone interested
is welcome to attend. 

While the main focus of this conference is farmers, we encourage others
working in agriculture at extension, agencies, non-profits, and businesses
to join us!

This is an equal opportunity event.
