The Sixth Annual Latino Farmer Conference is around the corner and we are excited to announce that we will be coming together through a series of virtual webinars. You can look forward to a series of informative presentations, virtual farm visits, and opportunities to network with other farmers, farm educators, and sponsors. Stay connected with our Spanish language newsletter and bilingual Facebook page (Links in the registration section below).
For upcoming workshop information, please visit our Registration Page.

According to the USDA agricultural census, there are over 14,000 registered Hispanic farmers and ranchers in California. This year's shift to an online platform will expand the reach of the Latino Farmer Conference across the United States to new and greater audiences. Hispanic farmers are now growing at two times the rate of the traditional farmers and USDA leadership has identified these farmers as being historically underserved. As a result, this conference seeks to facilitate the creation of networks and provide pertinent information and resources. We accept any level of support with much gratitude.
Please consider downloading and sharing our Sponsorship Flyer. [PDF] Thank you!
