Alternative energy is once again prominently featured at this years WV Small Farm Conference. PIMBY will be doing a full-day workshop on Thursday (Mar. 1) focused on renewable energy basics (solar and wind electric) coupled with some hands-on activities.

Additionally, a 1-hour presentation on Saturday (Mar. 3) will address the siting of solar and wind energy systems for your home, farm or business.

This annual conference is a great time. It is such a nice way to get energized for the upcoming growing season. If you have not been before you should be aware that the banquet meals themselves are worth the registration fee - what good food!
