Field to Friends was well represented at the Small Farm Family Conference in Danville earlier this week. Jessica and Gary Sturm and family, Martha Walker and Bob Tuggle were there. Lisa Fultz was also there from the Martinsville Henry County Economic Development Corp. Virginia State University did a great job with the conference. Maximizing profits and saving the family farm were two themes that were highlighted at the two day conference. There were over 350 folks there representing commercial growers, future growers, support agencies and vendors. It’s an annual event so look for it next year.
