2023 OAK Annual Farming Conference

Join us for OAK Conference 2023!  The Organic Association of Kentucky’s annual farming conference, now in its 12th year, includes a growing audience of hundreds of Kentuckians and neighbors active in our community food systems: farmers, researchers, nonprofit professionals, federal and state agency partners, allied service providers and conscious consumers working collectively to build a local, resilient and healthy food system. The synergy of these diverse voices, messages and approaches combined with the place-based connection to our Kentucky farms, soil and communities provides a rich foundation for conversation and growth. The primary focus of OAK Conference programming is on-farm production systems, techniques and practices – and yet the interwoven threads of community, conservation, and conscious choice-making are inseparable from the sustainable agriculture movement.

In 2023, our conference program features two days of inspiration from local and regional speakers, useful Trade Show resources and abundant networking opportunities to empower and support farmers and food system change-makers. NEW: #OAK2023 will offer an additional day of learning and networking with Full- and Half-Day Workshops on January 26th.

Whether a longtime practitioner or a curious beginner, an early adopter or a tentative transitioner, all are welcome to the #OAK2023 conversation. Save the date today to be a part of the community for #OAK2023’s informational sessions, passionate panels, creative keynotes, half- or full-day workshops, supportive vendors, and locally-sourced and organic meals! CEUs for professional development will be available.  For event inquiries, contact Jenny at 502-517-9629 or jenny@oak-ky.org.
