An Interactive Gathering To 
Empower Farming Communities
1:30PM to 6PM
On February 14th, agrarian communities from across California converge upon Petaluma to re-envision our food system during this grassroots and interactive gathering. We call upon you--everyday farmers and good food advocates alike--to forge local solutions to our agricultural and food system challenges all while celebrating an ever-growing farm-to-fork movement.

All nine Farmers Guilds—from the Mendocino Coast down to San Luis Obisbo and out to the Sierra foothills—unite for one day to engage on vital issues such as farmland access and agricultural policy, while exploring opportunities like growers’ cooperatives and innovative new web-driven markets for their organic fruits, vegetables, meats, etc. Return home with new connections, tools and inspiration to enhance your farm and empower your community.

Want to get involved? Have a resource to share? Want to represent your organization, local Farmers Guild or Grange? Check out our list of topics and get in touch.
…Then Come Celebrate the
Romance Between Field & Fork
6PM to 10pm
And when the day’s work is done, we kick open the doors for an evening of farm-to-table romance! Food and farm-loving friends from all over the Bay Area, come spend Valentine’s Day celebrating with a whole-hog roast, organic food, our region’s finest beer and wine, and of course plenty of music and boot-stomping alongside those who grow our food. Come find love, rekindle your passion or just re-commit to your favorite farmer with boot-stomping good time.
