Join me at the 49th annual Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) Common Ground Fair for a presentation in the Hayloft Tent! This is one of my favorite agricultural events each year—so much fun and so much to learn. I’m very excited to be a presenter for the first time. Look for the details below in the schedule of events!

Title: The Future is Nuts

Description: How would you like to live in a world where we produce an abundance of food? Where biodiversity is increasing rather than disappearing? Where more carbon is being stored in the ground than is being pumped out of it? Where dead-zones and topsoil loss are memories, and where diet-related diseases are exceptions, not the norm? This world is not a fantasy: it is the future. All over the northern hemisphere, humans once tended nut trees like oaks, chestnuts, and hazelnuts to produce abundant food, and in doing so we created thriving ecosystems for countless other species. Join Elspeth to learn why it's time to bring these nut trees back as staple crops, more about the work that's already begun, and how in tending our keystone nut trees, we can revitalize our world.

Venue: The Hayloft Tent
