[Pollinator] Food Conference with a Focus on Pollinators

[Sabrina Malach]

Dear Pollinator Peeps,

The Hazon Food Conference (December 29, 2014 - January 1, 2015) at the
Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center in Falls Village, CT, is the only
place in the world where farmers and rabbis, nutritionists and chefs,
vegans, omnivores, and you come together to explore the dynamic interplay
of food, Jewish tradition, and contemporary life. Our annual event brings
together passionate people who are working for sustainable food systems on
multiple levels — locally, nationally, and internationally, in their
communities, and in their own lives. The first Food Conference was in 2006,
and since then has grown into the annual gathering for leaders of the
Jewish Food Movement from around the country.

I would love to speak with you about the possibility of attending the Food
Conference and being one of our featured presenters. I know that our
conference community would be interested to hear your perspective on recent
food trends - and how Jewish tradition influences (and doesn't influence)
your views on these things. You would also have the opportunity to sell and
sign books or dvds or whatever you would like. Many of our presenters
attend the conference with their families, and enjoy the opportunity to
retreat in the Berkshires.

I've included some more information below. I'd love if we could find some
time in the next few weeks to chat on the phone and see if we can make
something work.

All the best,
Sabrina
