Southeast New England Agriculture Conference & Trade Show
Sunday, February 4, 2024
Bristol Aggie High School
For the past 16 years, SEMAP has hosted the Agriculture and Food Conference with the goal of bringing farmers and service providers together to share knowledge and learn about innovations in agriculture. We’ve decided to partner with a number of regional organizations to build a more comprehensive and holistic event for our farmers, fishers, market managers, educators, farm workers, and everyone who makes up our local food community. We’re thrilled to have Bristol County Agricultural High School, Buy Fresh Buy Local Cape Cod, Cluck and Trowel Farm, Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation, NOFA-RI, OASIS on Ballou, Plymouth County Extension 4-H, and Pocasset Pokanoket Land Trust joining us to bring this new idea to life! This new, collaborative effort will bring together regional farmers and food producers for a day of community and learning around some of the most pressing issues facing our food system.
Meet the Keynote:
Carmen Mouzon
We are so thrilled to announce this year’s keynote speaker, Carmen Mouzon! Carmen is the Director at The Farm School in Athol. Inspired by her rich family legacy of farming and a passion to reclaim their traditions, Carmen sought to reconnect with the land, food and her ancestors through agriculture, and has since worked with thousands of young people to help them build those same connections and find joy, healing, and peace in the land. As we prepare for the many challenges facing the next generation of agriculture and envision a thriving future food system, we could not think of a better person to kick things off at this year’s conference!

All tickets include a locally sourced lunch!

Kids Conference
A day at the conference for you doesn’t have to mean a boring day at home for your child! Your child can join 4-H staff, volunteers, and members for some fun and learning. These programs are open to youth age 5 and older. Registration for the Kids Conference is $15 per child, contact us if that is a barrier.
