Tilth Conference
Para español, hace clic on el botón arriba a la derecha.
From a meeting of nearly 800 farmers, gardeners and food system activists in Ellensburg, WA, in 1974 to a network of thousands of food system professionals and activists spread throughout the Pacific Northwest, the Tilth movement has had a profound impact on our region’s food culture over the last 50 years. From influencing regional, statewide, and national policy to hands-on programs centered in communities across Washington State, partnership is at the core of everything we do.
This November 14-16, hundreds of farmers, organizations, businesses, wholesalers, food systems professionals, researchers, and educators will join to work, learn, and build solidarity as we honor our history and look forward to our next 50 years. Join us to celebrate, reflect, network and grow!
