SUMMARY:Eastern Regional Gathering
DESCRIPTION:This year’s EFAO Conference theme\, Regrowth\, is a reflection on how EFAO and its members have grown and changed throughout the last three years. It is also an homage to the many ways ecological farmers seek to work within natural cycles.

We hope that out of these strange times come many opportunities for us all to experience life-giving regrowth. \nSee event details and draft program >>\n  \nNote: As always\, children are welcome at the Regional Gatherings\, however please note there will be no childcare available\, and venue capacity is limited. \nCOVID-19 Precautions:\n\nMasks and intentional distancing are welcome at the EFAO Conference Regional Gatherings\, but are not required.\nThe venue will not be at capacity for this event.\nIf you are not feeling well on the day of the event\, please consider staying home.\n\n  \nPrices increase November 11th! \nIn order to make the EFAO conference accessible to all participants\, EFAO strives to cover registration fees for anyone who needs financial assistance.
