Organic Growers School (OGS) will host Farm Dreams on Tuesday, November 9, from 6\u20149 p.m. online. The virtual course is intended for those in the exploratory stages of starting a farm and will provide practical, common-sense information for entry-level farmers.<\/p>\n

\u201cFarm Dreams is a great class for folks who think they want to farm to start the planning process,\u201d says Nicole DelCogliano, director of programs and human resources for OGS. \u201cThe notion of starting a farm can be overwhelming and many don\u2019t know where to start. We provide some basic tools and lead people on a journey to discover why they want to get into farming and if so, what do they need to consider to start the planning process.\u201d<\/p>\n

The course will help participants assess their resources and skills and also identify their specific farming intentions. There will also be an opportunity to network, learn about regional training opportunities and hear from successful veteran farmers. \u201cWe have two farmer panelists: one focused on community and urban farms from Virginia, and one from WNC that does rural biointensive farming,\u201d says DelCogliano. \u201cThis is the place to start. Dedicating some initial time to your farm dream planning will save you hours and hours and, hopefully, heartache and money.\u201d<\/p>\n

This workshop is available on a sliding payment scale with a suggested fee of $35 to $55. Learn more and register at OrganicGrowersSchool.org\/product\/2021-farm-dreams<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
