Sustainable Small Farm Summit Online Free
The Sustainable Small Farm Summit is a Free Online Summit for New Farmers.
This event is dedicated to new farmers starting their first farm; WWOOFers & apprentices transitioning to become Farm Managers; visionaries contemplating changing their career to farming; and families of farmers who want to understand the business more. NOTE: A small farm is any business that grows and sells at least $1000 in agricultural products in a year, not exceeding $250,000 in sales. Whatever end of the spectrum you are on, you need tools to understand what parts of your farm are the keys to your long term prosperity.

It would be very helpful to have an agenda that gives the TIME of each topic on the agenda. It is difficult to “attend” an all-day farminar. Thank you.
