Thanks to the folks at Eco Farm for inviting me to speak at the conference over the weekend. The talk generated a lot of lively discussion and it seemed like everyone left with at least a few new tips and confidence in their ability to drive their web marketing forward.

The powerpoint file and resource sheet are available for download below if you would like them:

• Powerpoint slides (Powerpoint, 2.4 MB)
• Resource list (Microsoft Word, 28 K)

One of the great pleasures of the trip was seeing Thomas Cameron and Billi Davis from Rancho Durazno. That is the farm I worked on for two years to help start their CSA program. I learned so much from both of them about farming and life, so it was great catching up and sharing the weekend with them.

It was a pleasant surprise to meet the folks from Butte Mountain Organic Farm who have been members of Small Farm Central for a while. I got the following picture with a new member, Glen from Mother Flight Farm in Washington state.

The rain cleared on Saturday for the drive back to San Francisco, so I took the coastal road. Maybe slower, but what a gorgeous drive past artichoke farms, fields hugging the ocean, and ragged beaches.
