August 1 - 2 | Emerging Farmers Forum 2018 at Pinhook Farm

The Emerging Farmers project is a proactive approach to address the need to reach out to emerging farmers and future landowners. It defines an emerging farmer as someone with ties to agricultural land who would like to return to the farm as an operator or have a voice in its management. A goal of this innovative project is to help address a variety of social factors influencing the adoption of conservation practices and assist emerging farmers in the creation of a sustainable business plan for their operation.
