Organic farmer, consultant, activist and author Atina Diffley will be the keynote speaker at the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association's 35th annual conference, Affirming Our Roots, Breaking New Ground, on Saturday, Feb. 15, in Granville. Diffley and her husband, Martin, operated Gardens of Eagan in Eagan, Minn., one of the Midwest’s first certified organic produce farms, and now consult for the industry through Organic Farming Works.
“(Atina's) years of organic produce farming and marketing, and her experience dealing with sprawl and land ownership issues will inspire and deliver a wealth of information," said Renee Hunt, OEFFA’s program director and the event’s lead organizer, in a statement.
