Nuestros Finqueros Training Enterprises: Perennial Crops
September 23 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
FreeNuestras Raíces invites commercial producers, beginner farmers, gardeners, veterans, youth, and other interested community members to join our free farmer training program! In eight bilingual workshops running from March through October, participants will learn about a range of agricultural topics, receive one-on-one technical assistance from UMass experts, and get the opportunity to network and explore available resources with Nuestras Raíces’ community partners such as representatives from the USDA NRCS and FSA, Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources, and other local farmers and producers. In our September workshop, we will learn about various perennial crops!
