Saturday's Celebratory Banquet is a conference highlight. The evening will feature live music by Heather Kelday; an amazing silent auction of over 100 items (heirloom seeds, magazine subscriptions, local art, gift certificates and much more!); and a keynote speech from Katherine DiMatteo, president of the International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements, on the global organic movement.
