2017 CONFERENCE KEYNOTE: Diffley Atina Diffley is an organic farmer, activist, public speaker, and author of the 2012 award-winning memoir, Turn Here Sweet Corn: Organic Farming Works. From 1985 to 2008, she and her husband, Martin, ran the Gardens of Eagan, an urban-edge, organic vegetable farm, which he started in 1973 as one of the first certified organic produce farms in the Midwest. In 1989, the 5th-generation Diffley family land was lost to suburban development. The Diffleys started over on new land, but faced eminent domain again in 2006 when threatened by a crude oil pipeline owned by Koch Industries. Atina successfully led a legal and citizen campaign against the notorious polluters that lead to the creation of an Organic Mitigation Plan that provides protections for the soil and certification of threatened organic farms in Minnesota.
