Hosted by the Alabama Sustainable Agriculture Network (ASAN), the Regional Food & Farm Forums aim to open the floor for rich dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and relationship-building across ASAN's network.
WHO IS ASAN?
The Alabama Sustainable Agriculture Network (ASAN) is a grassroots network of small and sustainably minded farmers, consumers, entrepreneurs, and advocates, working together to build a healthier, more resilient, and more democratic food system in Alabama. We tackle that in a wide variety of ways, including events like the Regional Forums; farm tours and workshops; consumer resources like local food guides; regular print and email newsletters that educate as well as amplify event announcements and success stories from throughout Alabama; and more. You can learn more at: http://asanonline.org and on Facebook. Please join ASAN today! See more below.
WHERE IS IT?
The Forum will be hosted at the Coastal Alabama Farmers and Fishermans Market, 20733 Miflin Rd, Foley, AL 36535.
All Forum programming will take place outside, and while we plan to have some heaters and hot drinks, please dress for the weather.
