A Taste of Farming—Sheep & Goat Production
Thursday, February 23, 2023 • 7–8 pm
Virtual • Hosted by Virginia Beginning Farner and Rancher Coalition
Are you aspiring to farm or just starting out with farming? If so, this “learn as you go” online series is for you! It is designed to help you get a taste of different farming practices and concepts so you can explore your interests, gain a basic understanding of different farming topics, avoid common pitfalls, and get to know the Extension professionals in Virginia here to assist you.
Season 2 runs from October 2022 to March 2023. Each month, we will release two new Taste of Farming videos for you to watch! A few weeks after a moderated Q & A session will be held with the presenters where you can hear more from them and have your questions answered. Our schedule is listed below and videos and registration links are available on the Virginia Beginning Farmer & Rancher Coalition website: vabeginningfarmer.alce.vt.edu/TasteofFarming.html
Please reach out to Sarah Sharpe at seweaver@vt.edu or Katie Trozzo ketrozzo@vt.edu if you have questions.
