“Rising to the Challenges- Local Farmers, Local Food, Local Pride!"

Food Dance owner Julie Stanley will be co-speaking about buying from local farms as a restaurant. The Michigan Family Farms Conference is a forum for beginning, small-scale, and culturally diverse farmers to network, learn and build sustainable family farms.

Join us for the 8th annual Michigan Family Farms Conference on Saturday, January 15, 2011 at Lakeview High School in Battle Creek to discuss challenges and growth opportunities for family farms. Connect with other growers and great resources, network, and learn about organic certification, hoophouses, agritourism and local markets, urban school gardening, food safety, niche marketing, alternative energy, CSAs and much more!
