WILLITS, CA., 2/18/17 — The sixth annual North Coast Farmers Convergence, a regional gathering of farmers, food producers, food retailers, local food advocates, and agricultural organizations hosted at the Ridgewood Ranch, will be happening this coming week on February 21 and 22nd. The event connects people from Mendocino, Lake, Humboldt, Sonoma, and Marin counties with information on resources, techniques, and organizations to help support local farmers and strengthen the local food shed. The Convergence is organized by North Coast Opportunities and the School of Adaptive Agriculture.
The Convergence includes talks from prominent local farmers and other regional experts on agricultural issues facing small farmers, and provides a chance for farmers from around Northern California to network and build connections.
