This annual event brings together practitioners in the field of land-based beginning farmer training from all over the U.S. to share best practices, learn from each other, and develop collective solutions to our unique challenges.

 

 

The Field School will include two mornings of workshop presentations by experts, two afternoons of “open space” discussion groups and skill shares based on attendees' interests, and one day of extensive farm tours and panels at two incubator projects in the Portland area: the East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservations District's “Headwaters Incubator Farm” and Mercy Corps Northwest's refugee training farms.

Workshop topics include teaching financial literacy to adults, fostering farmer independence, food hubs, program funding, and more!

Registration ends August 27th. Don't miss the opportunity to network, share, learn from and spend time with staff from farm incubators from across North America!
