Emerging Farmers Conference

The 16th annual Emerging Farmer’s Conference will be held virtually this year due to COVID 19.

We recognize the challenges that 2020 have presented in addition to the everyday challenges for our immigrant and farmers of color. We acknowledge the disproportionate disparities with the pandemic, injustice, and inequities everywhere. More than ever, this is the time that we need to connect with one another to build relationships and share our stories.

• Profitable Farming
• Pest and disease management
• Scaling to wholesale
• Value-added production
