The 2023 NAMA Fall Conference was very successful and started off the first day with an ag tour of two farms that have diversified into some unique products and services. The first stop was at Riegel Dairy & South Point Hemp. The dairy was very impressive and I had not actually been on a hemp farm, along with the processing that they use to sell products. The other stop was at Crooked Creek Beef. The owners focus on raising beef and selling direct to consumers. They also have an event venue that is a beautiful place for a wedding. It is Haue Valley. Also on their property is Earth Angel Mushrooms. It was another first for me to see how they grow and sell their products. Here’s the group picture from our last stop.

Back at the Ritz-Carlton in Clayton we started the networking with an opening reception. Then we had keynote speakers, breakouts and more. Of course there are a lot of photos from the conference and I have them split into the tour and the conference in general. You can find them here:
