Announcing the Online Land Forum from Nov 9-19! 🐑 🌽 🍎
Join us from the comfort of your couch, office, tractor, compost heap – wherever you find yourself able to tune in!
The Land Forum will cover everything from leasing basics, to how to transition land and farm businesses to the next generation. There’s something for everyone, from exploring what goes into building a strong land sharing relationship, to how to make a private mortgage happen, to farming in co-operatives and land trusts. You’ll hear from Land Matchers as well as farmers in your community. We’ll also be hosting regional networking sessions for land seekers and landholders.
Check out the line up of webinars and register here: youngagrarians.org/landforum2020 or at our link in bio under “Events”

Real talk from @dahliamayflowerfarm. Farmers- we s $Real talk from @dahliamayflowerfarm. Farmers- we see you. Let us know how we can help. You are smart & capable & you got this 💖 “I’m about to share something that I feel a little uncomfortable talking about. These last 6 months have been so hard on so many as COVID 19 has turned our worlds upside down. Goodness knows almost all of us are sick of hearing the words ‘pivot’ and ‘new normal’, although we can’t seem to coin better terms for what we are experiencing. It’s been my job as the leader of this company, the ‘boss’ and an industry expert to remain strong, calm, collected and optimistic. It’s my job to pivot and make sure my farm survives an economic meltdown. So I’ve done exactly that. I’ve stayed calm, I’ve given the appearance that I know what I’m doing, I’ve been nimble in my pivots and I’ve steered this farm through turbulence while growing my business and expanding. I’ve added new staff, new infrastructure, new services and new procedures to keep everyone safe. Our pivots successes have been wildly acclaimed in the community, in magazine spreads and online. I’ve even been a featured speaker on several panels. It feels disingenuous to speak about any of my accomplishments over the past six months without acknowledging the mental toll that comes with being the poster child for resilience. These last 6 months as a business owner have felt like a crushing weight. I haven’t worked this hard in the entire six years that I’ve had this business. I also haven’t been this scared in the last 6 years. My pivots, which have looked so seemless, have came out of sleepless nights, crushing self doubt, guilt over daring to moving forward, fears for my staffs safety, and the constant feeling that I am WILDLY under qualified for the job I currently have. A college diploma in horticulture and a semester of abnormal psychology seems woefully inadequate at a time where every decision I make affects the safety and livelihood of the people I care about and the community I work so hard to serve. Why share this? Because the internet makes everything look easy sometimes. But it only shows a fraction of the picture (Cont’d on @dahliamayflowerfarm’s feed)$
