Southern Family Farmers & Food Systems Conference 2023 (SFFFS Con 2023)

Together we are stronger! When the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance (FARFA), Small Producers Initiative at Texas State University (SPI), and Council for Healthy Food Systems (CHFS) decided to join forces in 2019, it resulted in the formation of the Southern Family Farmers & Food Systems Conference (SFFFS Con) – the one BIG annual event serving small and mid-sized family farmers growing sustainably and regeneratively on the land.

 

The SFFFS Conference is a event bringing together producers from all over the state of Texas, Southern U.S., and beyond to celebrate small farms and local food. Contact Organics is part of  the regenerative agriculture movement, offering sustainable weed control option to farming operations of all sizes.

 

The Contact Organics team will be at the Small Farmers Conference https://www.southernfamilyfarmersconference.org/

When: August 6-8, 2023 |
Where: Texas State University | San Marcos, TX
Come and talk to us about weed management, soil health, and healthy food systems. Our experienced team can offer a weed management option for your situation whether you are brand new to farming or have been doing it for years.
