Small Acreage Expo 2019

The 14th Annual Small Acreage Expo is a fun, valuable, and informative event that offers participants a choice of different classes (see choices below). Learn about important topics that will help you manage your land, get to know local resources, meet other small acreage landowners and have a great time at the 78th Street Heritage Farm!

An open house during the lunch hour will allow participants to meet and learn more about local agencies that serve the public as well as ask questions to local vendors participating in the event.

Pre-registration is $15 and runs until 2:30pm on Friday, April 12. Register by April 12 to include a FREE lunch with registration. Late registration price is $25 and can be paid on arrival.
