Efficiency in the Field: Managing Your Crew to Achieve Results and Deepen Relationships

October 26, 2017 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

$10 – $15

Join Pete McLean of True North Facilitation and Zoe Abram of Brookfield Farm to look at Brookfield as a case study for crew management. The workshop is broken into two parts: an introduction to Brookfield Farm as a case study, and a self assessment and analysis of each participant’s farm.

Pete’s approach is very personal, and requires folks to look at their plans, clarify their goals, craft the process, and commit to the outcomes. With his experience in farming and background in developing community culture, Pete’s focus will be on creating farm crew buy in to daily operations as it relates to field operations.

This event is GREAT for farm owners and managers in their first 10 years of operation but make no mistake, there is knowledge to be gained by all levels of experience at this workshop.
