1. To network! 

Surround yourself for a couple days with like- minded people, industry stakeholders, and people who want to connect with you over a mutual love for the dairy industry. Come share your ideas and experiences with others! 


2. The location! Ferndale, CA is a quaint Victorian village and the northern gateway to California’s Lost. Enjoy a drive through the coastal redwood forest and drop down into the flat valley bordered by the Eel River to the north, the ocean on the southwest and the mountains in the east. 


3. Expand your knowledge! Find solutions to everyday problems you face, ask organic certifiers how to efficiently stay certified and comply with ever- changing regulations and learn the best techniques for on farm tasks. Plus, much more! 



4. The Fun Factor! Take this opportunity to leave the farm, have some fun and build your network. Take advantage of the connections you can make with farmers and stakeholders in our industry! You deserve it!
