2020 workshops & events

Our Market Farming Workshops are open to the public, they cover a wide range of topic areas and are intended to benefit a variety of experience levels. Growing Growers apprentices receive free registration to all Workshops and Partner Events.
**Due to COVID-19, we have canceled all in-person core workshops for the 2020 season.**
The core workshop series covers the more foundational subjects of farming practices and is a part of the required curriculum for apprenticeship. The Advanced Series highlights more specialized information and activities which we update annually. Half-day workshops are typically scheduled on Monday afternoons and are $15 for registration whereas full-day workshops take place on Saturdays, the registration is $30 and includes lunch.
