Boots to Roots 2: Down on the Farm
Tuesday, May 24 • 8 AM – 1 PM
VSU Randolph Farm Pavilion, 4415 River Road, Petersburg, VA 23803
This workshop is an on-the-farm event for military veteran farmers, ranchers, and landowners, especially for those new and beginning veteran farmers who want to learn more about what it takes to farm profitably and sustainably. We will tour the Randolph Farm and learn about various enterprises such as urban farming, aquaculture, small ruminants, vegetable production, berry production, high tunnel production, and more. We will also learn about the USDA and other agencies that partner with us to support farmers.
