ARC&D Announces Summer Workshops
We are pleased to announce ARC&D’s Summer Workshop Series. Join ARC&D this summer for our Summer Field School!
The Field School is open to new and beginning farmers, experienced farmers looking to acquire new skills, and anyone interested in learning more about our food system. This summer, we will be offering eight workshops on topics including soil health, rotational grazing, medicinal herbs, niche markets, disaster preparedness, and more. Most workshops will take place on Thursday evenings.
Our full two-day Disaster Preparedness Workshop will take place on Thursday and Friday, September 17th and 18th, in Greeneville. To kick off the Summer Field School season, we will host an ARC&D Farmer Training Video Launch Party at the Jackson Theater in Jonesborough on Tuesday, April 28th, at 5:30 pm. Join us for this free event to view the Introduction to the Video Series and learn about farmers in Northeast TN. We will also host a panel of farmers featured in the video after the screening, and pastries from Slowbird Bread will be available for purchase, along with refreshments from the Jackson Theater.
We will also start the field school season with a Kick-Off Potluck on Sunday, May 17th, at Grand Oak Farm in Jonesborough. This potluck is open to everyone, Field School alumni, and anyone interested in learning more about the program and our food system. Farmland Soil Reclamation Workshops will be taking place on Tuesday mornings in May. Each workshop will include a site walk and a comprehensive review of farmland soil reclamation amendments, methodology, and recommendations for Helene-disturbed soils.
These workshops are made possible in partnership with the UT Extension Institute of Agriculture. This workshop is made possible thanks to funding from the Tennessee Governor’s Response and Recovery Fund. For more information about the workshops and registration, please check out the link below: https://arcd.org/workshops/ Late this summer, ARC&D will be hosting a Women Preserving Farmland Event in Greene County.
This three-day event, which will take place at Rural Resources Farm and Food Education Center on August 24-26, aims to equip women landowners with the tools and knowledge needed to preserve their farmland for generations to come. To learn more and sign up: arcd.org/women-preserving-farmland/
