Last year’s event “Fermenting the New Farm Culture” was such a success that we’ve decided we need to get together more often!
We welcome all new and aspiring Maritime farmers to a day of learning, discussing, socializing, potlucking, and forest-walking! Let’s stay inspired through these winter months, and energize ourselves with new friendships and ideas for the work to come.
This event is FREE, bilingual (simultaneous translation provided), and brought to you by the youth of the National Farmers Union in New Brunswick. Everyone is welcome, regardless of age, experience, etc.
Please REGISTER and/or send your questions to Katherine at nfu.unf.nb@gmail.com.
