This new two-day event is a gathering for farmers and food leaders who want to have a real say in Illinois’ farm and food future. You will have the opportunity to sharpen your leadership, think strategically, and build power together, from the ground up, for a farm and food system that works for everyone who grows, eats, and depends on it. You’ll leave ready to lead, connected to others, and prepared to make a lasting difference.

The conference agenda will be announced soon!

Mark your calendars to celebrate our state’s most precious resource!
