This is a bus tour, workshop, tradeshow, and multi-session conference all rolled into a single, networking production. It’s a working vacation. It’s an educational retreat. It’s money in the bank. You’ll socialize with friends and you’ll see first hand the workings of a NAFDMA farm in season. Most importantly, you’ll go home with fresh new ideas and innovations for adaptation at your own farm as you take it to the next level!

You’ll spend less than four days away from home, including your travel time! Bring members of your family and from your management team too. This is time and money well-spent.

NAFDMA’s Advanced Learning Retreat means:

• Taking it to the next level,
• small group networking, every question gets answered,
• behind the scenes, in-depth access promotes best education,
• interaction with high level peers maximizes power to innovate,
• customizing content “on the fly,” assures relevance exclusively for those who participate.
