Pitch Your Farm Dream | Saturday, October 12 | 1-4 p.m.

A strong personal pitch can be essential for landing the land you want, but as a new farmer, promoting yourself can feel daunting.

Build confidence and acquire strategies for engaging landowners or financial institutions. This workshop includes expert tips on what landowners are looking for, and face-to-face time practicing your uniquely crafted “farm-seeker pitch.”
