FARMER CIRLCES
Starting in 2021, we're partnering with CT NOFA and UConn Extension's Solid Ground program to launch a learning opportunity for beginner and advanced beginner farmers called "Farmer Circles."
Farmer Circles are peer-to-peer learning communities for farmers interested in sharing obstacles and strategies in a small, semi-structured, supportive environment.
Each project year, farmers will join a circle focused on a topic or issue that interests them and explore this topic together.
