Ready to grow your farm’s customer base?

Join us for an interactive workshop designed to help beginning and small-scale organic farmers build confidence in marketing their farm and connecting with new customers. Learn how to effectively share your farm story, tailor your message to different buyers and sales channels, and explore strategies for expanding your market opportunities. You’ll also hear practical tips and real-world experiences from fellow farmers to help you strengthen your marketing efforts and grow your business.

On-Farm Water Management 

Friday, March 27th, 3-5pm | via Zoom | Register Here.

Many of us in the Pacific Northwest farm in wet soils, so dry farming should be easy, right? If only! Sites are flooded in the winter, but dry and dusty all summer. Local growers are invited to learn from two service providers and farmers about water management, irrigation, and production methods and practices to conserve water in the variable conditions of regional river valleys.

Manejo del agua en la  agricultura

viernes, el 27 de marzo, 3-5pm | en Zoom | Regístrese aquí. 

Muchos de nosotros en el Noroeste del Pacífico cultivamos en suelos húmedos, así que la agricultura de secano debería ser fácil, ¿no? ¡Ojalá! La tierra se inunda en el invierno y está seca y polvorienta todo el verano. Se invita a los agricultores locales a aprender de dos proveedores de servicios y agricultores sobre cómo gestionar el agua, el riego y las prácticas de producción para conservar el agua en las cambiantes condiciones de los valles fluviales de la región.
