SUMMARY:Webinar: Grant Funding for Northeast Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Grants are often appealing to beginning and established farmers alike. It’s tempting to go after “free money\,” but grants aren’t always “free”- navigating the process can be challenging and many come with significant strings attached. \nJoin Nathan Rudgers\, Director of Business Development at Farm Credit East\, on December 7 as he talks about grants; why they exist\, opportunities that are out there\, how to apply for them and some of the issues to consider. The focus of this webinar is on grants and incentives for farms\, rather than nonprofits or service providers. \nRegistration is free and open to the public. \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

SUMMARY:Farm to Table Cooking — Winter Vegetables
DESCRIPTION:Do you ever run out of ideas for cooking with winter vegetables like beets\, carrots\, squash\, turnips and celeriac? Many of our local farms grow and store vegetables so they are abundant throughout the winter months\, but home cooks sometimes tire of them. From soups to souffles\, to hearty salads and baked treats\, the possibilities for using local produce through the winter are endless. \nUsing recipes that are simple\, delicious and easy to adapt for whatever ingredients you have on hand\, we will prepare a range of dishes suitable for various diets (vegetarian\, vegan\, and gluten free variations provided). We will also go over a few cooking basics like knife skills\, preparing locally grown dried beans and grains\, and menu planning. \nThis series of four classes is being taught by Molly Merrett – former farmer\, passionate cook and the chef and owner of Beets & Barley Catering. Classes meet for two and a half hours once per week for four weeks. \nSign up here

SUMMARY:Farm Holler!
DESCRIPTION:PARLOR SESSION No. 2: Edith & Bennett And The Gawler Family Band // FARM HOLLER \n$12 advance / $15 door\, Students $8 // FARMERS ARE FREE [by phone or at the door] (413) 923-2800 \nTickets on sale 12/26 at 10am. \nMusicians will be singing and teaching work songs & field hollers from around the world. The show is FREE FOR FARMERS\, there is soup provided by Foxtown Farms in Montague\, pastries from Pie Bar in Florence and more. Sure to be a fun\, cozy and spirit-warming evening in the midst of this cold winter \nEdith & Bennett’s show and the Sing they lead\, after it\,  have packed the Parlor Room year after year. We’re thrilled to announce E&B are bringing the entire Gawler Family Band with them for the first time. \nEdith Gawler grew up a member of the GFB\, Maine’s legendary troupe. She plays a wicked banjo\, fiddle\, and upright bass. Bennett Konesni is a worksong scholar\, Mainer\, and co-founder of Sylvester Manor\, the 243-acre “singing farm” on Shelter Island\, N.Y.\, where he teaches worksongs to the farm crew and directs the annual fall festival “Plant & Sing. Together Edith & Bennett perform around the world for the U.S. State Department as special envoys in traditional music. The Gawler Family Band is John and Ellen Gawler and their daughters Molly\, aforementioned Edith\, and Elsie — and lately Bennett Konesni as well. The Gawlers are known for their extensive collection of dance tunes in the Scots-Irish and French Canadian traditions — a collection that fuels dances across the Great State of Maine and beyond — but the family’s repertoire is extensive and surprising and its presence on any given night has the effect of a raging bonfire in the dead of winter. \nwww.edithandbennett.com\nwww.facebook.com/GawlerFamilyBand

SUMMARY:Northfield Mount Hermon Farmers' Market Teach-In
DESCRIPTION:What is the Farmers’ Market Teach-In?\nThe purpose of the day is two-fold. The “teach-in” element gets our students thinking about local food: how it’s produced\, distributed\, and valued within the community. Many of our faculty members devote the day to focusing on relevant topics in their area of study; from science to world languages\, arts to history\, and many more. Participating experts — farmers\, agricultural scientists\, chefs\, and local government officials\, among others — visit classes to share their knowledge. \nThe “market” part of the day takes place at the center of campus\, where students\, faculty\, and staff congregate to learn about and purchase locally produced goods such as seedlings\, early vegetable crops\, cheese\, salsa\, honey\, wool\, pollinator products\, and a variety of other items. There are also educational booths teaching visitors about topics such as nutrition\, preservation of agricultural land\, and food justice. Pictures of last year’s Farmers’ Market Teach-In are at this link. \nWhen will the Farmers’ Market Teach-In take place?\nMay 5\, 2017. Guests hosting a booth at the Farmers’ Market Teach-In may arrive as early as 8 am and should have their booths set up by 10:30 am. The official Farmers’ Market is open to NMH classes from 11 am–4 pm\, and is open to the public 2–4 pm. Guest speakers will be matched with appropriate classes\, which begin as early as 8 am and run in 80-minute increments throughout the day. Classes start at 8 am\, 10:10 am\, 11:40 am\, 12:20 pm\, and 2:20 pm. \nWhere is the Farmers’ Market Teach-In? \nThe market will be in the center of campus at 1 Lamplighter Way\, Gill\, Massachusetts. Events and classes will be held throughout the campus. We will send a map to participants closer to the date of the event. \nHow can I be involved? \nThere are numerous ways to participate. We invite you to consider the following: \n\nSell products at the market or host an informational table. The most popular tables are interactive\, offering students an opportunity to try a hands-on activity or sample wares.\nVisit one or more of our classes as a guest speaker.\nBring livestock to campus for market-goers to encounter.\nSuggest an innovative way of connecting students/market attendees to food systems. We are open to your ideas!\n\nTo sign up\, click on this link and fill out the registration form. \nHow much does it cost to participate\, and what do I need to provide for my Farmers’ Market booth?\nParticipation is free. NMH will provide a table with tablecloth\, tent\, chairs\, and electricity (if needed) for your booth. We encourage your booth to be manned by at least two people. If you are selling products\, you will need insurance coverage\, and as a speaker you will need to provide proof of automobile insurance. (Details will be provided in the event contract.) \nHow do students get involved?\nMany classes have been given specific tasks for their visits to the market. Some will have questions to answer\, and this year we will share those questions with you in advance. Some will be interviewing participants to learn more about careers in food systems. Some will shop\, especially for Mother’s Day gifts. NMH students tend to be engaged and curious\, and will be eager to connect with you.

SUMMARY:Homestead Woodlot Management Workshop with David Cantieni: NOFA
DESCRIPTION:Smart forest management can help you move towards energy independence while also providing additional income. This woodlot management workshop is meant to empower owners of small woodlots to start a management program of their own. \nDavid Cantieni will share his personal experience of living in the woods for the last 30 years and his journey of forest stewardship. He’ll discuss and demonstrate how to do a forest assessment\, with emphasis on species diversity\, canopy openness\, aesthetics\, wildlife habitat\, and timber quality. David will dive into economic considerations of forest management including regional timber markets\, selling cordwood\, and more. There will also be discussion of scale-appropriate tools and technology to aid you in your forestry work. \nThis workshop also includes a hands-on demonstration of some tools of the trade: chainsaws\, chokers\, peavies\, and more. You’ll also get to watch David demonstrate how he bucks up his logs. \n \nAbout the Instructors: \nDavid Cantieni grew up in spending lots of time in the forests of rural Pennsylvania where he and his brother did all those things that country kids must do\, such as cutting down a tree with an ax\, making trails (secret if possible)\, finding dead animals\, and getting lots of poison ivy. In college\, his studies included agriculture and ecology. Ultimately\, he and his partner found 40 acres of ex-pasture\, now forest land\, to build a house on. He’s been sustainably stewarding those woods ever since through lots of time being\, observing\, and reveling in the forest and all it’s aspects. \nRegister Online Now or Mail In This Registration Form \nMore Info \nLimited scholarships are available for beginning farmers (those growing 10 or less years) who are active NOFA/Mass members.
