Thanks to the farms and friends who hosted and the generous support of Columbia Basin Trust, Young Agrarians was able to organize seven different on-farm and educational events across the region in 2019 and early 2020. We learned about tools, seed saving, nurseries, fermentation, mushrooms and more, we toured some groundbreaking farms, and we shared meals with new and old friends. We partnered with some fantastic like-minded organizations and teamed up with innovative entrepreneurs. We look forward to what this year will bring!
Scroll on for links to recaps from the whole series to see what we did at each event. We’re excited to announce eight more events for the 2020/2021 farming season very soon, so if you haven’t been able to join us yet you’ll have plenty more opportunities!
