Growing Organically Together: A BIPOC Networking Event – Eastern MA
Have you been looking to dive deeper into the world of soil health, and discuss what practices make the most sense for your farm? This event is a space for BIPOC farmers to explore connections with customers, markets and soil health. Together, we’ll be exploring our strengths, needs and opportunities within our farms, including discussions on the option of organic certification. We’ll develop a more clear understanding around the intersections of our financial investments, love for farming and desire to serve our communities.
This event is a part of a series throughout Massachusetts of networking and technical assistance opportunities around organic farming, specifically certifying organic. If you have questions or interests in if it’s right for your farm or about certification in general, this is a great way to get involved. Come with questions and your thoughts, where we’ll be collecting them and addressing concerns at future technical assistance events.
