  • Farm Vision Virtual Workshop

    Zoom

    BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! The Farm Vision Virtual Workshop is designed to help aspiring farmers clarify what motivates them to farm, get their vision on paper, and inventory their strengths and training needs. Featuring a panel of mid-career farmers, this interactive workshop provides tools to help turn farming dreams into reality. Using a combination of virtual presentations, individual skill assessments, vision exercises, and breakout discussions, participants will be able to develop an action plan for their farm business.

  • Affording Your Farm

    Affording Your Farm

    Zoom

    Agricultural funding for farmland is complex and it is often hard to know where to start. How do I get the financing I need for land? How do I afford the infrastructure I need once I do get access to land? In this free virtual workshop, USDA, NRCS, and SARE representatives will provide an overview of private and government financing options for purchasing land and infrastructure so you can begin growing your operation as soon as possible. As a bonus, drop in on OEFFA's monthly Farmer Help Shop at 1 p.m on May 20. There, USDA, NRCS, and SARE representatives will be back to answer more in-depth questions, whether from the Affording Your Farm workshop, or something else.

  • Farmer Help Shop USDA Edition

    Farmer Help Shop
    Zoom

    On May 20, OEFFA's regular help shop will feature USDA, NRCS, and SARE representatives to answer your questions on private and government financing options for purchasing land and infrastructure. This Help Shop is a follow up from the May 9 Affording Your Farm Workshop, a free virtual meeting covering the same topics. Attendance at both isn't required. OEFFA's team of educators is available to assist farmers at any stage of their journey. Whether you are making the switch to organic, are already certified, or if you have questions about sustainable agriculture practices, OEFFA can share guidance and support. Drop in virtually on the third Monday of each month to talk to sustainable agriculture educators with your queries and questions. Click the link below to register and receive the Zoom meeting link.
