Farms as learning centers: workshops, research, and students

Farms as learning centers: workshops, research, and students

The only real way to learn and gain experience in farming is to get your hands dirty and put knowledge into practice. For that reason farms play an essential role in training others to get into this sector and navigate the challenges and learning curves of making a living on the land. While most of the farms in our network have shown interest in offering educational opportunities, actually becoming a school is outside of the capacities of most of them. At the same time there are many ways to offer training from offering courses and workshops to student, volunteer, and apprenticeships. In this panel we’ll explore many of these possibilities from the perspective of farmers with many years of experience helping others get their foot in the door as well as those who are just starting to explore how to participate in offering learning opportunities. We’ll cover essential considerations, key learnings and advice, and new ideas that our panelists are exploring to improve their offerings for both learners and themselves. Join us live to get your own questions on how to set up or improve your trainings answered live by our panelists.
