Ali and Sarah had an enlightening and inspiring weekend at the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Working Group (SSAWG) annual conference this past weekend. In addition to learning from and with some of the wonderful minds growing and organizing for sustainable agricultural systems in the South, ASK Apparel was able to host a booth in the trade show and reach out to more customers across the region! We met so many wonderful people interested in growing, working with, or wearing natural dyes. For any interested in the environment, agricultural sustainability, food, or community organizing, this conference is a must attend! We would like to thank all the fabulous volunteers from SSAWG and the conference who made it such a great experience.
Here is a link to the blog of April, a conference attendee who has at least started to summarize some of the great things we learned: http://www.slowfoodtriangle.org/community/
For those of you from the conference holding your breath, the winner of our raffle was Jackie Green from Alabama, who will get one free ASK Apparel tee!
