Field Workshops

As a participant in the NESFP Farmer Training Program, you will also attend the Spring/Summer Field Training Series. These on-farm workshops focus on building practical skills on topics including organic agricultural production and marketing, food and farm safety, greenhouse management, small equipment use and maintenance, pest management, irrigation, and soil and water conservation. All beginning farmers are expected to participate in the field based trainings as the practical field component of farmer training. The Spring/Summer Field Training Series meets about 12 times over the growing season on weekday evenings.
