What parts of the main conference will I miss if I attend an Eco-Ag U workshop on Tuesday?
Nothing! The Trade Show floor is open Tuesday evening after the workshops are completed.
May I register on-site for Eco-Ag U?
Eco-Ag U workshops have limited space and do sell out before the event. Pre-registration is strongly recommended to secure your spot in your workshop(s) of choice.
I have an exhibitor badge, do I need to register for Eco-Ag U?
Yes. Exhibitor badges are valid for the main conference only, but you may upgrade your badge to include an Eco-Ag U advanced learning workshop. Pre-registration is required and these tend to sell out, so please upgrade early. You can upgrade by emailing @[email protected] or by calling 970-392-4464.
Do I need to register to walk around the trade show? When will it be open?
A conference name badge is required for entrance to the trade show, which will open to registrants on Tuesday afternoon. There are no trade show-only badges.
Can I volunteer?
All volunteer spots are full.
Will there be books for sale at the conference?
Yes. Acres U.S.A. is bringing our eco-farming bookstore with hundreds of titles. We accept cash, checks and all major credit cards. If you would like to pre-order email [email protected]
What food is available?
We have food vendors on the Trade Show floor. They will be serving food during lunch in the tradeshow, which opens before the first lecture each day. Food is also available in the host hotel and at restaurants and cafes within walking distance.
Can I bring my child?
Absolutely! Families are always welcome. People who do bring children, however, must be watched and cared for. Children younger than 14 are free to attend. Children of 14+ should register as a student.
Can I transfer my registration if I can’t make it?
Yes. You can transfer your registration by calling the Acres U.S.A. office at 970-392-4464 or by emailing [email protected]. After December 1, 2026, the transfer will be made on-site at the event. Have that person claim your registration on-site and we’ll make a new name badge there.

What Sets Us Apart
Every year, the Eco-Ag Conference & Trade Show sets a new standard for innovative and practical learning in modern agriculture. This is not your average regenerative farming conference. Eco-Ag is the premier conference for science-based sessions on regenerative agriculture. You will learn techniques and tactics you can immediately take home to the farm and put into practice. Each moment of programming is thoughtfully curated to provide useful, practical and measurable information and connections that you can apply to your operation.
Exceptional learning from leading farmers, agronomists, and others who are pioneering a new way to farm ecologically and economically.
Engagement with innovative companies building tools and services to help you surpass your regenerative farming goals.
Connecting with your peers who are also seeking to chart a new path forward for their regenerative operations and with experienced growers and agronomists who have valuable lessons learned and are ready to share.
Program
The Eco-Ag Conference is filled with engaging keynote speakers, 1-hour breakout sessions in regenerative agriculture topics ranging from soil health – including making the most of the microbiome, composting, cover cropping and more, to farm management to livestock and beyond.
Eco-Ag U
Get the most out of your experience by signing up for an Eco-Ag U workshop (or two!) – the registration fee includes your choice of pre-conference workshops plus the entire conference and trade show. Spend a full day with an instructor diving deep into a topic that’s important to you.
You will have direct, small-classroom access to the top minds in eco-agriculture, where you can learn the real details behind their success, and ask questions specific to your farm or operation.
Professional Audio and Video
We invested in professional audio and video technicians for this conference. Every recording is not perfect, but we believe the overall quality is very good. Missed the 2024 Conference? Get The recordings below!
