Free
Imagine a conference where farmers, growers, and supporters from the Northeast and beyond, regardless of ability or background, gather to share their stories, learn coping mechanisms, and ignite a movement for change. This is the vision behind the Healing By Growing Farms 2nd Northeast Disability & Agriculture Conference, themed “My Voice; My Narrative.”
Date: Saturday, May 18, 2024
Location: Wisdom House Retreat & Conference Center – 229 East Litchfield Road, Litchfield, Connecticut 06759
This isn’t just a conference; it’s a lifeline. We empower attendees to “Take Back Their Narrative” to help combat the mental health and stress that plague the agricultural industry, too often leading to tragic suicide rates. Through compelling presentations, workshops, and peer support, we’ll help participants reclaim their stories.
Whether you’re a farmer, service provider, community supporter, trauma survivor, a disability advocate, or simply interested in the topic, this conference is for you! Don’t miss out on this unique chance to connect with like-minded individuals, exchange ideas, and contribute to the advancement of disability-inclusive agriculture.
Mark your calendars and join us for the 2nd Northeast Disability and Agriculture Conference. Together, let’s cultivate an inclusive and thriving agricultural community!
