2nd Annual Southeast New England Agriculture Conference and Trade Show

SNEACTS brings together professionals and community members from across the local food system to learn about important innovations and ideas for local food and farming production

Dighton, MA - The Southeastern Massachusetts Agricultural Partnership (SEMAP), in partnership with eight local food and agricultural service providers, is pleased to announce the 2nd Annual Southeast New England Agriculture Conference and Trade Show (SNEACTS) and Kids Conference, to be held on Sunday February 2, 2025, at Bristol County Agricultural High School in Dighton.

This conference will bring together farmers, fishers, local food producers, homesteaders, advocates, community members and folks from across the local food community for a day of insightful and engaging conversations around the future of our agricultural system. Workshops range from hands-on production and training, business skills such as workforce development and risk mitigation, and broader issues facing small farms, such as land access and climate change. A day at the conference doesn’t have to mean a boring day at home for your child, with the full day kids conference! Kids can join 4-H staff for a full day of fun and learning.

SNEACTS is a collaboration that brings together expertise from across the food and agricultural landscape to examine its pressing issues and needs through a broader lens. Building on the amazing success of last year, this year’s conference will feature something for everyone interested in our region's local food scene. From livestock to soil health, from aquaculture to flowers, and everything in between, attendees will find the topics and experts to make them better growers, businesspeople or more aware of the issues facing our local food and agricultural systems.

SEMAP is excited to partner with Bristol County Agricultural High School, Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation, Northeast Organic Farming Association of Rhode Island, Plymouth County Extension 4-H, Buy Fresh Buy Local Cape Cod, The Pocasset Pokanoket Land Trust, Oasis on Ballou, and Cluck & Trowel Farm.
