greenhorns, if you're interested in animal power on your farm - this is the event for you.  Coming soon!

Northeast Animal Power Field Days
Our 4th Annual Event takes place October 15-17 2010 - only 23 days away! NEAPFD has become a clearing-house for educational and operational resources, building networks and sharing experiences around the many aspects of draft animal-power, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, and local food systems. It is a grass roots event made possible by countless volunteer hours and contributions by our many sponsors, exhibitors, advertisers, and our membership. Please visit our website for more information: www.animalpowerfielddays.org.

We have added some activities and speakers to our program that did not make it in the Program/Resource Booklet, and want to let you know about them. This includes scheduled activities and workshop presenters.

Scheduled Activities:

On Friday evening, October 15th, there will be an Open-mic starting at 7pm - Storytelling, music, poetry, etc. will be shared by many including teamsters such as Lynn Miller, Jay Bailey, Howard Van Ord, Carl Russell, and many others.
