Good as Santa-The Organic Growers School Conference is Coming to Town-Part 1

In our Asheville garden this morning, I got to pondering possibilities. The garden is resting right now, but I am already thinking about what we will plant this coming growing season. I’m also wondering about the soil…sure would like to connect with other veggie-growers…. Oh Wait a Minute!! I can! The 2012 Organic Growers School Conference is coming up in just a few months. (see details below)

The Organic Growers School is all about gathering folks together to talk and learn about organic agricultureAsheville's Amazing Acreages and Organic Farm Lands and sustainable living in the Asheville NC and Southern Appalachian region. Since 1993, the vision of a group of farmers and extension specialists to create a mutually supportive network of thriving communities and prosperous farmers throughout our area has been unfolding. Since then, farmers, gardeners, educators, students, consumers, and chefs have gathered from over 17 states and Canada.

Loving the LAND as we do here at the Eco-Steward Real Estate Firm, we are excited about their vision to link to farm incubators and farmland preservation initiatives, and to gain influence on a regional level to make sustainable food systems a priority….”

“One of the best things about winter time is all the dreaming you get to do about your next growing season," they report.
