Join us at the 5th Annual Hobart Farmers' Lunch & Conference, a FREE half day gathering and luncheon for farmers and members of the regional food community presented in partnership by the Hobart Rotary Club and Food & Health Network of South Central NY.
This conference is an opportunity for farmers and people working in agriculture to connect and learn. We will also hear speakers who will discuss growing and processing grains and building community resiliency through local food and agriculture.
A delicious locally sourced lunch will be served.
This is a great way to stay connected, celebrate local entrepreneurship,learn and make new friends!
