Fay Benson & Abbie Teeter will host 3 lunch meetings on January 11th, January 31st, and February 22nd to bring farmers together to discuss their successes and challenges this past year.
In organic production there hasn't been as much research on farming practices so farmers rely on sharing their experience with each other to improve their businesses.
During the first meeting, the participants will choose from recorded videos to watch over a lunch of soup and sandwiches with a discussion to follow. We hope this discussion will set the topics for subsequent meetings.
