Growing Power was as much a 'gathering' as a conference, featuring a diverse group of about 1000 people at Milwaukee's State Fairgrounds
I presented on the resource limitations of beginning farmers and how to overcome them. Here are my excellent co-presenters - Amy Mall, a board member of Family Farm Defenders and co-founder of Altgeld Sawyer Corner Farm near Logan Square in Chicago; and Farm Aid’s 'Farmer Advocate' Joel Morton, who organized the session.
A collage from Taylor and Alexis' trip to Growing Power (where Will Allen was always so busy it was hard to get a picture of anything besides the back of his head and, of course, his impressive shoulders).
