Join us for an opportunity to learn from each other about how the coronavirus pandemic is impacting small farmers, food producers, our patrons and communities as we face new and unprecedented challenges. This is a chance to share the challenges you are or may face during this crisis, explore new opportunities that present themselves during the pandemic and discuss innovative and resourceful responses underway to keep our communities safe and food secure.
Representatives from VDACS, USDA agencies, Small Business Administration, Virginia Cooperative Extension and others will also answer concerns. Questions can be shared at https://vasmallfarmers.com/listening-session prior to the session. A Zoom link to the call will be emailed upon registration. We want to foster farmer-to-farmer connections and come together to make this crisis an opportunity for us all to grow together and better serve our communities.
