Every winter, Future Harvest CASA holds a dynamic sustainable agriculture conference in the lower Mid-Atlantic. This year, they have added an extra day of hands-on, pre-conference workshops: beekeeping basics, food photography and styling, fermentations, wet hopping — and much more.  And then the conference starts, with session after session on:

• Bay-saving farming 
• Innovative growing practices: fruit, vegetable, livestock
• ABC’s for beginning farmers — including business planning
• Where and how to source local and sustainable food
• The who and how behind the local libation boom: beer, wine, cider, and spirits
• Fresh food and health
• How we can build a better, stronger, more profitable foodshed
• Food hub 101
• How to become a locavore chef
• Local cocktail hour, local food dinners
• and much more
