Pasa Sustainable Agriculture is hosting a variety of educational events for farmers this fall, including on-farm workshops, grower-to-grower tours, and regional community potlucks.
On-farm workshops will cover topics such as small engine repair, navigating grants and loans, and adding fruit trees to your production plan.
Grower-to-grower tours will focus on high tunnels, including inconsistencies in regulation and topics such as siting, design, and construction.
Regional community potlucks are a chance for farmers, food system professionals, and changemakers to meet and connect.
