New this year, we are splitting the Field School into two programs: the Winter Business Intensive and the Summer Field School. The WBI will consist of 9 classes on business planning, finances, and marketing, with the intent that students complete a comprehensive business plan by the end of the course. Summer Field School will focus on on-farm workshops where students can gain new ideas, learn different production methods and network with experienced farmers. You can read a detailed description about the Field School and the calendar of workshops available at our website: www.arcd.org/field-school.
Summer Field School workshops will be $15 per workshop. If you register and pay upfront, there are discounts available for purchasing 4 or 8 workshops. Signing up in advance for 4 workshops will be $55 and registering to attend all 8 workshops will be $100. Space is limited, so you are encouraged to register up front for the workshops.
Please call 423-979-2581 or email alexis@arcd.org for more information.
We look forward to exploring farming options in East TN with you this year!
