2026 Forage Congress
January 28, 2026
Nunda, NY
Dear Forage Congress Participants and Partners,
Due to the unprecedented winter storm impacting travel conditions across the region, along with extreme cold temperatures and ongoing safety concerns, we have made the decision to postpone Forage Congress.
The event is now tentatively rescheduled for Wednesday, March 11, 2026, pending confirmation that this date works for all speakers, sponsors, and attendees.
This decision was made with the safety of our participants, speakers, staff and venue partner as the top priority, given hazardous travel conditions and logistical challenges associated with the storm.
Immediate confirmation of receipt of this message is required. Please reply to this email as soon as possible to confirm you have received this notice.
If you have any concerns, conflicts, or questions, please do not hesitate to call Jodi directly at 585-689-3423.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to reconvening safely in March.
Sincerely,
Jodi Letham
