The Land Stewardship Project’s Farm Dreams is a four-hour workshop designed to help people clarify what motivates them to farm, get their vision on paper, inventory their strengths and training needs and get perspective from an experienced farmer.
Due to COVID-19, we’re offering Farm Dreams as an online workshop for the first time. This workshop is normally four hours long, so in order to avoid a four-hour video call, we’ll be asking you to complete a homework module prior to the workshop.
The cost of the workshop is $20 for Land Stewardship Project members and $40 for non-members. If you’re interested in becoming a member, you can find more information here. Each registration fee covers up to two people per family or farm. For more information or to register with a check, contact LSP’s Annelie Livingston-Anderson via e-mail or at 612-217-0553. You can also register online HERE.
The desire to farm is powerful—sparked by love of food, the land, just living, community, entrepreneurship and more. But it is a complicated undertaking, and the list of questions is long. If you are dreaming of farming and puzzled about how to get started, LSP’s Farm Dreams Workshop is for you.
Farm Dreams participants will:
- Assess their resources skills, and motivations for farming.
- Learn about important things to consider when starting to farm.
- Write down their farm vision.
- Develop an educational plan.
- Learn about training opportunities and support networks.
- Talk to an experienced farmer about their path into farming.
The Land Stewardship Project (LSP) is a private, nonprofit organization founded in 1982 to foster an ethic of stewardship for farmland, to promote sustainable agriculture and to develop sustainable communities.
