15th National
Small Farm Trade Show & Conference™
November 1-3, 2007

The largest annual small farm show in the United States!
Last year, over 4,400 people and over 150 exhibitors attended. We want our this year’s show to be the largest yet, so come to the show and bring
a friend (or two or three).
This year, we will have 60+ talks, 150+ exhibitors, a poultry exhibition, and demos.
The stock dog clinic will be held on Wednesday, October 31.
See the Schedule for a listing of all the short courses, seminars, farmers forum talks, and more going on at the show.
