Backyard chicken interest booming
The pandemic has brought an “explosion of interest” in keeping backyard poultry, the workshop description says.
The workshop is 3–4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 12. It’s part of the online portion of the conference. The conference’s in-person portion goes from Feb. 17–19 in Dayton.
CFAES is one of the sponsors of the conference, which organizers call the region’s premier conference on sustainable food and farming.
