Farming in Challenging Times is doable with the information and support networks you’ll gain at the 2022 Small Farm Outreach Program Annual Conference. You’ll be empowered by expert speakers, panelists, and other farmers! Develop relationships during networking opportunities and vendor exhibits. Glean insights during panel sessions and bus tours. Panelists will discuss financial fitness, crop insurance, marketing, farm safety, mental health, soil health, and disaster preparedness. Bus tours include a boxed lunch and visits to these Virginia Farms: Slade Family Farm in Surry, Dayspring Farm in Cologne, and Bees Knees Farm in West Point. Invest in yourself and your enterprise. Join us and see what blossoms in the year ahead!
