CFSA Sustainable Agriculture Conference 2026

October 31 – November 1, 2026

The Carolina Farm Stewardship Association (CFSA) Sustainable Agriculture Conference is one of the Southeast's leading events for farmers, food system advocates, educators, gardeners, and community leaders. Each year, the conference brings together hundreds of attendees from across the Carolinas to share ideas, strengthen connections, and explore innovative solutions that support local and sustainable agriculture.

Participants can choose from a wide variety of educational workshops, keynote presentations, farmer-led discussions, networking opportunities, and an expansive trade show featuring organizations, businesses, and agricultural service providers from across the region. The conference also offers pre-conference workshops and farm tours, giving attendees hands-on learning experiences and opportunities to see sustainable farming practices in action.

The Davidson County Local Food Network (DCLFN) will be exhibiting at this year's conference alongside Piedmont Fresh, DCLFN's regional online food hub initiative. Stop by the booth to learn more about how DCLFN is strengthening local food systems, supporting farmers, and connecting communities with fresh, locally grown food. Visitors can also discover how Piedmont Fresh makes it easier to shop directly from local farms while supporting the regional agricultural economy.

Whether you're a seasoned producer, an aspiring grower, or someone passionate about local food, the CFSA Sustainable Agriculture Conference is an excellent opportunity to learn, collaborate, and become part of a growing movement toward a more resilient food system.
