The "CRAFT of Farming"
CRAFT stands for Collaborative Regional Alliances for Farmer Training. It is a national program focused on training for farmers, farm workers, interns and apprentices. CRAFT expands training beyond the individual farm by bringing farmers, farm workers, gardeners, students and eaters together at educational on-farm workshops throughout the state to meet colleagues and learn new skills.
2024 Farm Programs
2024 will include six workshops held across the state. Each workshop has a different topic focus led by the farm manager. Many programs also include partner organizations who will share info on their work and participate in dialogue. Attendees will also receive an introduction to the Transition to Organic Partnership Program.
All workshops are open to farmers, home growers, organic supporters, food system professionals, and/or interested community members.
The 2024 programs have concluded. Thank you to all that joined us. See you next season!
