What is a Perspectives Potluck? It is a symposium networking style event where instead of bringing dishes, attendees bring their thoughts, ideas and perspectives to share. The goal is that by sharing perspectives we all will benefit from each other leaving with new ways to approach farming. Discussions and speakers will form structure to the day, while also having plenty of time to network over fantastic local food.
Our goal for this Perspectives Potluck is that farmers will have new ideas on how to further generate income for their sustainable, regenerative, local goods.
