Gaining Strength Together:
2011 Annual Meeting of New England Farmers Union
Farmers and consumers speaking together are heard, planning together are seen, and advocating together are successful. The only way to amplify the importance of New England agriculture is to work together. We have done that in 2011, and we are stronger as a result. Our local voices are being heard and understood at the national level.
Join us on December 9 from 1 to 8:00 p.m. as we celebrate accomplishments and plan our next steps. The New England Farmers Union Annual Meeting is a time for members to help set policy goals and chart our direction for 2012. It is also a time to learn about the state of New England's agricultural community and an opportunity to meet new friends and reconnect with old ones. Please join us and bring a friend. All are welcome!
