Pitchforks & Policy: 2019, North Bay
2019-08-27 08:00 - 17:00 | CA
Farmers, ranchers and advocates for local food and sustainable agriculture, join the North Bay CAFF & Farmers Guild community for our annual “Pitchforks & Policy” gathering to learn how policies could impact our farms and food system and what we can do about it.
From the national issues to local ordinances to statewide programs, get updates on policy matters pertaining to small farms, sustainable agriculture and local food systems. And find out how we—farmers, citizens, elected officials—can take action. Then share your own thoughts, concerns, ideas and questions. This feedback will guide our organization in the year ahead, as we work to give voice to sustainable agriculture and small farms in the halls of Sacramento and beyond.
Potluck at 6pm, program at 7pm.
Free, all welcome.
