Hands-on Learning

We organize a variety of field days throughout the year with topics focusing on the core themes of soils, plants, animals, and people. Field days provide prospective and current farmers exposure to the diversity of farms in the region through a workshop series that balances visits to:

• Larger and smaller farms
• Organic, biodynamic and sustainable farms
• New and continuing Upper Midwest CRAFT member farms
• Farms throughout our geographic region

Every field day includes time on the training topic, the host farm tour, and social time.
