Throughout the year, New Entry holds dozens of classes, advanced workshops, online trainings, farm tours and field trainings for beginning and established farmers, Food Hub customers, and the general public. Almost all of our events require some form of pre-registration, but most are free or very low-cost to attend. Filter our events below by your area of interest and then let us know you're coming. We can't wait to see you!
This in-person workshop is designed to help people start a vegetable garden, large or small. Participants will receive the resources and training they need to layout, develop, and troubleshoot their very own backyard garden or community garden plots producing, fresh vegetables this very season! New to vegetable gardening? Have homegrown produce by the summer! Already have a plot? Get advice from a soil-health enthusiast. All proceeds support New Entry's mission to grow the next generation of farmers.
Are you interested in starting your own farm business but need to learn technical skills to get started, the Crop Production Course is for you!
This 8-week online course covers essential topics related to sustainable crop production, enabling participants to grow food while caring for the soil at the farm or in the garden.
