I'm very much looking forward to manning the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund booth at the 2026 EcoFarm Conference, Jan 21-14. The conference, as I'm sure you know, is a highlight of my year! If you're going, be sure to stop by the booth in the Exhibitor Tent and say hi.

Last January, the Ecological Farming Association gave me the Steward for Social Justice Award - the Justie. I never posted it before - I don't think one touts oneself too much. I am proud of the award. And rather humbled. The social justice embedded in my work is accomplished as part of a community.
