The day will feature:

  • Two keynote presentations: The Church and the Land: Providence and the Path to Heaven (John Paul Meenan) and Catholic Solidarity”(Father Brendan McGrath)
  • Practical sessions on the “Why, Art, and How” of growing and preserving your own food, looking to next year’s growing season
    • Three breakout sessions to build real, practical skills: In-Town Gardening, Food Preservation, and Building Raised Beds
    • Pre-conference preparation questions to follow upon registration via email to help you make the most of these sessions
