Friday Night Movie:
What's Organic About "Organic"?
Illustrates that the organic food debate extends well beyond personal choice and into the realm of social responsibility. What's Organic About "Organic"? delves into the debates that arise when a grassroots agricultural movement evolves into a booming international market. As the film moves from farm fields to government meetings to industry trade shows, we see the hidden costs of conventional agriculture. We also see how our health, the health of our planet, and the agricultural needs of our society are all intimately connected.
Saturday Night Banquet:
Included in the cost of registration is entrance into our Saturday night banquet.

We have an outstanding group of vendors attending the conference. Select vendors have donated items for our Saturday night raffle. Raffle tickets will be for sale at the registration table for $1.
