Rural Heritage Institute, Food Farms and Community Conference.

Our cows with their new calves in the "nursery" just before dark.

My friend Annie Connole and I have been asked to talk at Sterling College for their second annual Rural Heritage Institute, Food Farms and Community Conference for our work creating the Grass-fed Party. We are thrilled, humbled and most importantly excited to talk about our experience! I cannot wait to meet new people and all the other speakers whose talks all sound fascinating.

A bit about the conference from Sterling College's website: "Join some of the nation’s leading scholars, farmers, entrepreneurs, policy makers, artists, and activists at Food, Farms, and Community: Rural America’s Local Food Renaissance from June 16th-18th in the heart of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom."

Sterling College has started a blog here. I am going to blog about my thoughts after the conference; going in I have been thinking a lot about how without public policy initiatives we can not have any true grass-fed change. And yet, I become more and more inspired by all those who seek to understand and support America's rural heritage and its grass-fed renewal!
