- This will be a briefing for newbie/aspiring farmers on what to expect, how to prepare, how to contextualize their first season farming, and which resources to tap into.
- It is also for those who wish to plug into the beginning farmer scene via their non-farming trades or crafts—and to figure out how to do that.
- OR for those who want to WOOF, volunteer occasionally on a farm, and get a taste of the agricultural scene—where to look and how to be most useful.
- OR for those who might like to partner with farmers, help form farm businesses, or rent or sell land to farmers.
