The annual WODPA Conference & Trade Show kicked off this year in the historic town of Ferndale, California. Ferndale is a quaint Victorian village and the northern gateway to California’s Lost Coast. Attendees enjoyed drives through the coastal redwood forest and a couple breaths of fresh air on the shore of the Pacific Ocean. The real treat, however, was the beautiful venue we hosted the conference at this year – The Barn By Fernbridge. Monday evening, we kicked things off with a highly attended reception at the Bear River Casino. We feasted on delicious, donated cheeses from various organic vendors, enjoyed cocktails and coffee with new and old friends and a very short program covering the following day’s plan of events. The reception was supposed to only be an hour and a half but lasted well over 2 hours due to the enjoyment of the evening!
