Keeping it Local and Sustainable

Ramada Inn, Cornwall, Ontario
Eco Farm Day is an annual conference tailored to the interests of organic farmers and market gardeners in Ontario and Québec. Each year, we have new opportunities for people to connect throughout the organic sector for commerce, business development, and personal pleasure. A gala dinner on Friday evening features our guest speaker, Wayne Roberts, a renowned ecological activist, author, and grass roots organizer. The Saturday portion of Eco Farm Day again features Wayne Roberts for the opening plenary session plus many interesting concurrent workshops and a trade show. The organic lunch is a hit every year with people sometimes calling it the highlight of the weekend. The trade show will be open to the public on Saturday afternoon.
The theme of Eco Farm Day 2010 is Keeping it Local and Sustainable. This message will be delivered through keynote speaker Wayne Roberts, 12 workshops, a trade show with over 30 exhibitors, and a fully organic lunch. Last year's Eco Farm Day attracted about 350 paid registrations bringing the total crowd to about 410. We expect Eco Farm Day 2010 to match those numbers. Organic agriculture is the fastest growing sector of agriculture today. The mainstream and agricultural media regularly carry stories dedicated to organic food production. The conference is a focal point for people seeking to improve their success in organic farming and organic food commerce.
The Eco Farm Day Committee invites you to participate in Eco Farm Day 2010 -- an excellent way to market your business while supporting organic agriculture.
