Speakers Schedule at Landis Valley Herb Faire

I noticed that this hasn't been posted on the website for the faire yet - nor any mention of speakers at all, in fact, so hey... this is better than nothing. Susanna Reppert put this schedule together and we hope some of you will get to hear some of the talks! They are free to those attending the faire. The faire is May 8th and 9th. My sister and I have been vending there for 15 or 16 years now and love to reconnect with vendors and customers.
