Did you hear about the Southcentral Growers Conference happening April 10 and 11 at the Kachemak Bay Campus? 

The Southcentral Growers Conference is back for its second year, bringing together an inspiring lineup of Alaska farmers and growers ready to share the hard-earned knowledge, practical skills, and innovative ideas that help southcentral growers thrive.

This year's conference keynote speaker is Tom Zimmer of Calypso Farm and Ecology Center, who will present on his 25 years of growing food and community in Alaska. 

Rockstar farmer Allie Barker from Chugach Farm will present on her regenterative agriculture techniques using raising animals and plants, while Kelli Foreman from The Last Small Farm on Kodiak Island will give us a tour of her goat dairy operation. 

Bo Varsano and Marja Smet will Zoom in from Farragut Farm near Petersburg to talk about their pivot toward a crops that pay as well as teach us (finally!) how to grow carrots succesfully. 

And all the way from Quebec, farmer and spreadsheet guru Dan Brisebois will talk about how spreadsheets can make your farm humm. He'll also present on cooperative farming models that work.
And there's so much more! High tunnel tours, discussions about slugs, bugs and soil health ... and back by popular demand Maggie Goedeke will continue her lesson from last year on ergonomic farming! 

Whether you’re a seasoned commercial producer, a market gardener, or tending a homestead, this year’s expanded two-day conference offers something for every level of experience.

Most presentations will be streamed on Zoom as well as offered live at the Kachemak Bay Campus. The exception will be classes held in the campus high tunnel, which will be in person only.
