Farmers from Raindrop Ridge, Five Apple Farm Honey, and Spruill Farm Conservation Project with CNG’s Alice Varon at Carolina Farm Stewardship Association’s 2015 Sustainable Agriculture Conference
We can’t wait to see you at a number of conferences throughout the US in the next few months!
…and by “we,” we mean the CNG community at large.
That’s right, local Certified Naturally Grown Ambassadors will be representing our grassroots group at these excellent events.
We are delighted to be able to tap CNG farmers to enthusiastically stand for our certification at local (but large!) events. This means we can be more efficient as an organization, minimizing travel costs and allowing local folks to dig deeper into their communities to help CNG grow.
