Lodging Is Available at Our Overflow Hotel, the Campbell House

The Campbell House is 1.8 miles from the Lexington Convention Center. This local favorite was recently extensively remodeled and now mixes contemporary elegance with southern charm. And don't worry about the distance! During conference hours, a complimentary shuttle will run continuously between the two locations. The Campbell house offers free parking and complimentary airport shuttle, too. Did we mention their heated indoor pool?

Kick Off the Celebration Thursday Night As Everyone Celebrates 25 Years of Sustainable Agriculture!
It is by many, many people and groups working at all levels -- farm, community, state, regional and national -- that so much has been accomplished over the last 25 years! Our Voices from the Field events will gives us a chance to reflect, celebrate and be inspired.




We are building an interactive timeline of the last 25 years of sustainable agriculture, and we need your voice:
  1. In a few words, a description of the milestone event or accomplishment you think contributed to the growth of local food and sustainable ag in our region. If relevant, include name of entity and location (such as name and location of farm). 
  2. The date (or time range) when it happened/was established so we can put it in the correct position on our timeline. 
  3. Your name (But let us know if you want your entry listed anonymously on the timeline.)
  4. A photo or two, if you have them. We'd love this!
Please send information about the things you want to celebrate to Skip Polson via email: [email protected].

This invitation is open to all, regardless of whether or not you plan to attend SSAWG's 25th annual conference, so please let us hear from you soon. We'll be sharing this with the public this spring.




We'll have our interactive Voices from the Field Memorial on display, commemorating those from our field who have passed on, but whose voices are not forgotten. Bring photos!

Even if you can't attend the conference this year, we still welcome your input. To help remember and recognize those in sustainable agriculture who have gone on before us, please email a memorial --and include a photo-- to Skip Polson at [email protected].
