Croptoberfest 2016 [Event]

Posted on by ElevatedOwl

This year’s Croptoberfest in Yakima, Washington celebrates the past, present and future of the newest agricultural economy in Washington: the cannabis industry.

When: November 19, 2016, 10am-7pm

Where: 52 North 3rd Street, Yakima, Washington

What: The 3rd annual Croptoberfest will feature: an educational seminar on the future of the agricultural promise of cannabis, a cannabis expo and an after party. Croptoberfest plays off of the classic “Octoberfest” which celebrates beer and hops in all of its forms. Croptoberfest is a chance to come together to celebrate the new and beautiful cannabis industry.

According to Croptoberfest, “We find ourselves in a tremendously exciting time in history. Never have we seen a prohibited plant that holds so much value to today’s economy be released from the chains of the mis-education that over seventy years of propaganda have delivered our society. We launched Croptoberfest to assist in these efforts.”

Who: Adults 21+ can come to meet cannabis producers, processors, retailers and industry leaders in a variety of platforms. The educational seminar will feature many distinguished speakers such as Joe Beckerman, Principle of Hemp Ace International and longtime cannabis agriculture activist, Dr. Alan Schreiber President of Agricultural Development Group, Inc. which provides independent research and consulting services to agriculture industries, and Jedidiah Haney who founded Evergreen Industries SPC.
