WE ARE FARMERS RISING
We create space for you to learn alongside other growers and farmers, grow your business and production skills, and connect with eaters, partners, and advocates for local food of all ages and walks of life.
With our mission of building sustainable local food and farm systems where the people who work the land are honored, healthy food is a human right, and extractive food systems are dismantled, we are at the forefront of farmer training.
