About the event
Join us at the Farley Center to see exciting agricultural conservation practices in action on the farm (and get free lunch featuring fresh local farm ingredients!) Participants will have the chance to tour farms at the Farley Center, see how farmers have integrated conservation practices into their operations, and learn about diverse agricultural conservation practices that are eligible for funding through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Wisconsin. Farmer Juan Gonzalez Torres (Los Abuelos Farley Farm & Los Jalapenos CSA) will join us to share about his on-farm conservation practices.
NRCS staff will be there to meet participants and share about programs and funding available to small-scale, urban, and historically underserved producers. Go Farm Connect and Wisconsin Women in Conservation staff will talk about how they can support you in getting started on your conservation goals and applying for NRCS funding.…
