Overview
Are you interested in lightening your load by working with other farmers? At this session, you will hear from farmers who are exploring creative ways to share resources, market collectively, and collaborate, in formal and informal ways.
The webinar is approximately 60 minutes long. Participants will learn why farmers choose collaborative farming, how they find partners, the benefits and tradeoffs, task division, compensation management, logistics of product distribution, and the future of collaborative farming for individuals and the food system.
The panel discussion features Arzeena from Amara Farm, Emily and Nathan from Confluence Farms, Jason and Krystyna from Seed of Life Farm, and Thanu from Wild Bee Florals.
