FarmLink Land Seeker & New Farmer Workshop
How do you look for farmland and work to put together a sustainable farming operation--one that is financially, ecologically, and personally viable? Take the first step with the FarmLink Land Seeker & New Farmer Workshop.

Please register by Wednesday, April 27

There is plenty of space at the WSU Everett location, however, there is a webcast option for those who are not in the Western WA area.  You'll be asked during registration  if you will be participating via webcast and if so, we will contact you beforehand with instructions.

At this workshop we will focus on the following areas:
- What to look for in a property
- Land management basics and farm planning resources
- Ways to acquire land
- Working with a land trust
- Financing options and how to prepare for a lender
- Farmer resources and education opportunities
- Trends in production
- Apprenticeships
- Labor options for small farms
- Farm incubator projects
- Farmer networks

You'll also get to meet others who are working towards finding land or starting a new farm.

There will be a light meal at this workshop.
