Every year, farmers, ranchers and local food advocates from across California converge at the Farmers Guild-Raising to share skills, explore hot topics in sustainable agriculture and collectively forge a united voice on behalf of family farms. For our fifth year, we're heading to Davis, CA!
This year's program includes hands-on demonstrations in Climate Smart Farming, workshops for all experience levels on topics ranging from food safety to cooperative business models, and our annual ag policy forum, helping guide our team's advocacy during the year ahead in both Sacramento and DC. And like every year, this event concludes with the always popular Agrarian Lovers Ball with locally-sourced food, live music and our Annual Awards, recognizing contributions to a stronger local economy, food justice and a new generation of agrarians. |

KEYNOTE: THE LEGACY OF FARM-TO-TABLE
Farmer Rich Collins & Bi-Rite Market's Sam Mogannam
|
Forty years ago, the words "sustainable", "local" and "organic" would've left folks scratching their heads. Today those words represent a movement. Join us in conversation with two pioneers from opposite sides of the farm-to-table exchange—Rich Collins, founder of CA Endive Farms and Sam Mogannam of Bi-Rite's family of businesses—as they look back on the early partnerships that ignited a cultural shift towards food justice and resilience: between family farms and neighborhood grocers, rural communities and the city, the soil and the plate. What did it take to arrive to this moment? What legacy will a new generation of farmers and local food advocates inherit? And what will it take to keep that movement growing strong?
