Explore Creative Land Partnerships on March 11 and 25

What does a thriving small farm look like? Maybe it’s a few acres of heirloom vegetables near a bustling community with a successful farmer’s market. Or perhaps it’s a more remote grass-fed beef enterprise with a commitment to producing the best-tasting meats for miles around. It could also be a small-scale pastured poultry operation with a solid base of dedicated customers. The possibilities are virtually limitless.

Landowners who want to support and be a part of a flourishing farm operation, but don’t want to do the farming themselves have the option to host a small farm project on their land. The Local Food Project’s upcoming course—“Hosting the Small Farm Dream”—will guide participants through the decision-making process and explore options for creative land partnerships. The course will take place on two Wednesday evening sessions (March 11 and 25) from 6:30-9 p.m. at Airlie Center. Learn more and register today!
