Have you ever dreamed of starting your own farm? In this interactive workshop, we'll learn about types of sustainable farming careers in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, take part in a series of self-assessments, and be better prepared to decide whether to pursue a farming business is the right choice for you. We'll hear about regional training opportunities through the Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training (CRAFT), university extension, small business development centers, and others. Includes a presentation of farming enterprises and an opportunity to ask questions about the development of successful local farms.

 

We're excited to offer this class in the Center for Green Technology's new Resource Center! Light refreshments will be provided. All attendees should bring a lunch.
