Workshops for
farmers
(and other
interested people)
We offer monthly workshops from March
through November on basic market farming skills. Most workshops
include some classroom training and a farm tour. Training is
conducted by farmers and by extension specialists in order to provide by
theory and practice. Locations of workshops are rotated around the
metro area and farther afield in the Kansas City food shed, in order to
offer opportunities to visit a number of the areas market farms.
Workshops are scheduled to avoid conflicts with farmers market
schedules. Most of our workshops are held on Monday afternoons, and a
few are day-long.
2007 Workshops are complete.
