UIC’s Family Farmed Expo was nicely done and well attended! There was a great selection of topics and vendors, and the chicken panel had a great turnout!
The panel included Martha Boyd, Program Director of Angelic Organics Learning Center; John Emrich, owner of Backyard Chicken Run; and Jen Murtoff, owner of Home to Roost Urban Chicken Consulting. Sarah Elizabeth Ippel, founder and director of the Academy for Global Citizenship, did a fabulous job as moderator!
We discussed our chicken-related interests and businesses, then did a brief presentation on the backyard chicken movement in Chicago.
Then we turned to the audience for a great round of Q&A! A fun time was had by all!
