Keynote Session
Jean-Paul Courtens and Jody Bolluyt of Roxbury Farm will join us for this year's keynote. 2011 will mark Roxbury Farm's 20th season of providing CSA shares to New York City communities. Jean-Paul partnered with New York City residents to start the first CSA in New York City in 1991.
Farm Panel
The afternoon farm panel will provide attendees the opportunity to ask CSA farmers questions about regional agriculture and to get their perspectives on CSA. Check back for more information on the farmers who will be joining our panel this year. Have a question you'd like to ask? Submit your questions to paula@justfood.org. There will also be an opportunity to submit questions at the conference.
Expo and Reception
The conference will conclude with a reception and expo, featuring New York City purveyors of local, artisanal food and drinks. Check back for a list of EXPO participants.
