How do we ensure the future of food? By ensuring that the emerging generation of farmers is informed, educated and thoughtful in how they work the soil.
It’s no secret that farming is extremely challenging work. And while there are many new educational resources available–from sustainable agriculture schools to workshops on managing finances, many of these programs are financially unattainable to new farmers. FarmsReach & the Farmers Guild have partnered with the Sebastopol Grange to build the Farmers Guild Scholarship Fund — to help make financing these educational opportunities a little bit easier for farmers.
SHED, Healdsburg
The Scholarship Fund will offer financial assistance to farmers and ranchers for continued education in the fields of land stewardship, animal husbandry, marketing, soil science, business planning, water conservation and other skills that facilitate their success as food producers.
Please join us on April 25th at 6 pm, when we’re hosting a farmer-to-table fundraiser for the Farmers Guild Scholarship Fund with SHED in Healdsburg. SHED has been kind enough to allow Guild members take over the kitchen for a night!
