2026 Southeast New England Agriculture Conference and Trade Show
The 3rd annual Southeast New England Agriculture Conference and Trade Show (SNEACTS) will be held on Sunday, February 1, 2026 at Bristol Aggie in Dighton. SNEACTS is bringing together farmers, fishers, local food producers, homesteaders, advocates, community members and folks from across the local food community for a day of insightful and engaging agriculture workshops and conversations, as well as agricultural programming for kids. Workshops range from hands-on production and training, business skills such as workforce development and risk mitigation to broader issues facing small farms, such as land access and soil health.
SNEACTS also offers a full day kids conference, great networking opportunities, a trade show, access to service providers and one-on-one consultation opportunities.
Tickets are offered on a sliding scale and recommendations are provided at each level. We don’t want cost to be a barrier to attending. All tickets include lunch.
