This two-day trade fair and conference will present resources for farmers, loggers, and forest landowners pursuing the use of draft animals as part of their land-based livelihoods. By encouraging diversified farming, low-impact logging, and the use of draft animals, small acreage can be effectively managed for valuable farm and forest products, expanding opportunities for families to enjoy good livelihoods where they live.
The Weekend Activites Include:
- Event Welcoming, Saturday 1 PM; Secretary Roger Albee, Vermont Agency of Agriculture.
- Saturday Keynote, 1:15 PM; Lynn Miller, Horse-farmer & Editor of Small Farmers Journal.
- Sunday Keynote, 12:00 Noon; Jason Rutledge of Healing Harvest Forest Foundation.
