This Gathering will bring together approximately 100 people to engage in big questions, like “why is farm-based education important,” and to share practices with each other through workshop presentations, shared meals, and peer to peer discussion. Come with openness and curiosity, leave with new ideas for programs, DIY farm crafts in your suitcase, and a peer support network ready to stand the test of time.
Offered by the Farm-Based Education Network, a free member network created to strengthen and support the work of farmers, educators, and community leaders who provide access and experiences of all kinds on working farms. The FBEN is a project administered by Shelburne Farms and supported by regional groups, advisers, and founding partners.
