Critics' Picks Tennessee Organic Growers Association Conference at Borders - Franklin - Cool Springs

Cost: 25.00 to 75.00
Grow Ahead Disciples of The Omnivore's Dilemma will recognize Joel Salatin as the no-nonsense "grass farmer" whose idyllic, family-run Polyface Farms in Virginia serves as an agricultural ideal in Michael Pollan's blockbuster warning about the industrial food chain. Salatin's innovative farming systems - including portable electric fencing for moving grazing cattle; "Raken" houses for sheltering both chicken and rabbits; and "pigaerators" for building compost - provide a colorful and encouraging vocabulary for the growing dialogue about sustainable agriculture. Salatin delivers the luncheon keynote, "Going Full Time With Your Part-Time Farm," on Saturday at the sixth annual TOGA Conference. The two-day gathering starts on Friday and includes local farm tours, speakers and workshops on urban farming, beekeeping, organic fruit production, local food systems and more.
