Jean-Paul Courtens 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.
The afternoon farm panel will provide attendees the opportunity to ask CSA farmers questions about regional agriculture and to get their perspectives on CSA. Joining on the panel this year will be:
Jean-Paul Courtens and Jody Bolluyt of Roxbury Farm
Zaid Kurdieh of Norwich Meadows Farm
Chris Cashen of The Farm at Miller's Crossing.
Have a question you'd like to ask our farmer panel? Submit your questions to paula@justfood.org. There will also be an opportunity to submit questions at the conference.
* Please Note: This year we are excited that our keynote session, the farmer panel and number of the workshops will be similtaneously translated into Spanish (thank you to the folks at New Farmer Development Project for making this possible).
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.
