This is a great learning opportunity, but don't just take our word for it...

"...the SSAWG conference has been the single biggest influence on my development as a grower--more than the university classes I've taken, the books I've read or the workshops I've attended. The inspiration that I get at the conference each year carries me through the season and makes me hungry to improve our operation. I can't say how much I've learned from the farmers that give their time to teach these sessions."

"When I'm weeding and sweating in July, SSAWG is that voice that tells me I'm part of something bigger: a movement toward more sustainable farming and local foods in the South. SSAWG is the collective voice of all fellow farmers and local food advocates in the South."
-- 2016 conference attendee

"Sustainable agriculture is the grassroots movement that has the potential to cross the color line and create a better and more just community for our children."
-- 2016 conference attendee

Lodging Update:
Book by Jan 12th
Our conference hotel, the Hyatt Regency Lexington, filled up fast! But not to worry. Our overflow hotel, the Hilton Lexington Hotel, has rooms available and extended its discount deadline to January 12. You still get the same great rate of $110 per night, and it's right across the street. And just like the Hyatt, you will still enjoy free parking and complimentary airport shuttle.
