Real-Life Skills and Knowledge for Aspiring Farmers

The Local Food Project’s next event—“Skills, Scale, Sustainability”—will offer an exciting blend of farm design theory and hands-on learning. Facilitator Shane J. LaBrake is known for his unique approach to farmer training, emphasizing the importance of both management and practical skills.

Join us on April 3-5 to learn strategies for creating a farm plan that really works, communicating on the farm and at the market, and navigating the twists and turns of each season. You’ll also have the chance to get your hands dirty and become better acquainted with handtools for the small farm, tractor basics, and scale-appropriate field design. There are only 24 spots available in this unique intensive seminar. Register today!
