ANA Conference Review

What a great event - fantastic group of people!  We met some interesting folks that bring all aspects of running a farm business to light.   It was emphasized once again, how important the local food movement is.  The Dept. of Ag offered new ideas and incentives to get businesses to work with local food providers - I think they're on the right track with this one!    There were also speakers who coordinated a panel to review social media (mundane topic, but I always find myself flocking to see if there's anything new out there).   Most farmers are not on board with this type of activity - not surprising since the average age of a farmer is 60 years old.   Amazingly, social media as a HUGE part of our business at Lucky Leaf Gardens - can't get by without it!    By the way - are you following our facebook page:  Lucky Leaf Gardens... or Twitter: @MicrogreenGirl?      I'll be sharing a few links within the next few days... links to blogs, farms, or NCDA pages that seem interesting / beneficial.   Exciting times here at Lucky Leaf - rolling out a few new programs to get our products into hands across the state.  Stay tuned!
