Exciting stuff! I was blessed to have met Joel when he was out at the farm a couple of years ago and heard his delightful presentation.
He's gifted with passion and expertise, both needed to make it in this challenging though exciting industry of sustainable agriculture.
I'd encourage anyone to participate so they can hear him AND support a great cause.
