The 2009 Acres U.S.A. Conference
Thursday-Saturday, Dec. 3-5, 2009
Pre-Conference Intensive Study Options, Dec. 1-Dec. 2, 2009

Crowne Plaza Riverfront Hotel, St. Paul, Minnesota

The annual Acres U.S.A. conference sets the standards for innovation and learning. It is where you find farmers and consultants from every side of eco-farming who come together to share their experience and expertise. Attend the non-stop event, learn the latest in cutting-edge technology and methods, and return home ready to make your farming operation the best it can be.


Learn firsthand the in-depth production and farm management methods of the amazing farm profiled in the New York Times bestseller The Omnivore’s Dilemma

“This is chicken as I remember it from
my childhood. It actually tastes like chicken.”

“I just don’t trust the food in the supermarket anymore.”

“These eggs just jump up and slap you in the face!”

“You’re not going to find fresher chickens
anywhere.”

“All this meat comes from happy animals — I know because I’ve seen them. And the pork tenderloin is to die for!”

— comments on Polyface Farm from
The Omnivore’s Dilemma
