Day one, John Forti gave a very inspiring talk called,
“From Sustenance to Relevance:
Creating Community Resilience”
How to reinterpreting food, teaching local food history and the growing importance of our local farm markets in today’s society. John is the Curator of Historic Landscapes at Strawberry Bank and a good friend. Below are two pictures of John.
There will be more on John and the weekend at the ALHFAM conference in the coming weeks.

Did anyone record his message? Or, is there a printed copy somewhere?
Pat,
You would have loved his talk. There were many slides and I do wish he would have given us a print out, however, he spoke right from the slides. He is a wonderful speaker and doesn’t need to write things down he speaks from his heart. This is his love.

I remember you speaking of John in the past. What a joy to have such a person to give a talk on the food history.
