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. 
​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.
**Due to COVID-19, we are tentatively conducting core workshops virtually for the 2021 season.**
Traditional format: 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.
Virtual format: Following COVID-19 guidelines, we are tentatively conducting workshops virtually and will hold our same great classes on Zoom along with recorded farm tours for $10 per class. Registration will remain on our Eventbrite page.
