BEGINNING FARMER WORKSHOP AT GREYSTONE FARM AND EXTENSION OFFICE AUGUST 16th


The beginning farmer workshop is designed for persons thinking about getting into farming or may be relatively new at farming 1-10 years.  There are ten workshops over the summer around the state and I really pushed to have one in our area and it will be located at Greystone Farm.  
Thanks for your help.
