The Gathering of Good Graziers Conference will be held January 25th-27th, 2024 at UMass in Amherst, MA. We will be face to face for the first time since the pandemic!
We are delighted to announce that Mark Schatzker: author of "Steak", "Dorito Effect" & "End of Craving" will keynote the conference. He will share nuggets of wisdom he has gained since publishing Steak and give everyone a taste of his new book, End of Craving. The conference will also include workshops by regional grazing experts (Cheryl Cesario, Troy Bishopp, Daiman Meeh, Meghan Giroux, Abe Collins ...) as well as practical farmer panels on all topics grazing!
Although we are thrilled to gather in-person again, the conference will be a hybrid event which will allow us to meet people where they are at - literally. Folks can join us face to face or from the comfort of their own home. Choose your own adventure! Register now for an early bird discount until Jan 5th - Use Code GGGEARLYBIRD at Check Out.
