(View more photos here) Dear Jeremy,   It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us on June 9-11 for our Second National Gathering at Shelburne Farms, Vermont, one of the premier historic and sustainable agriculture sites in the country. This 1400-acre site originally owned by Lila Vanderbilt Webb is located on the shore of Lake Champlain and is the site of three barns, each one of which is more memorable than the last (if you don't think a barn can be memorable, you will have your mind changed…).   We're expecting a strong turn-out, so we suggest you secure your housing as soon as possible. Click here for our list of recommended hotels. NOTE: the unique agricultural nature of the site means you will be staying a few miles away at one of these hotels.   Slow Money… It's not an ISM (as in capitalism, socialism, consumerism, market fundamentalism…).  But it is a new way of connecting investors to local food systems, catalyzing new forms of social investing and philanthropy for the 21st century.  Join the emerging network of investors, donors, entrepreneurs, farmers, and activists who are giving birth to the nurture capital industry.    See you there, Woody Tasch Chairman, Slow Money Confirmed Speakers Erika Allen, Chicago Projects Manager, Growing Power Eliot Coleman, Founder, Four Season Farm and Author of The New Organic Grower Alisa Gravitz, Executive Director, Green America Gary Hirshberg, CEO, Stonyfield Farm Bill McKibben, Founder, 350.org and Author of Deep Economy Diane Miller, President and CEO, blue moon fund Will Raap, Founder, Gardener's Supply Joel Salatin, Owner, Polyface Farm Tom Stearns, Founder, High Mowing Seeds Robert Zevin, President, Robert Brooke Zevin Associates   Sponsors Calvert Foundation Castanea Foundation City Market Betsy and Jesse Fink Foundation Investors' Circle Recycled Paper Printing Solidago Foundation University of Vermont Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund Wainwright Bank   Partnering Organizations 1% for the Planet Edible Communities Vermont Commons Vermont Fresh Network     P.S.
