BIPOC FIRE 2.0 Daylong Workshops
Building off of the momentum of our weeklong BIPOC-FIRE (Black-Indigenous-People of Color Farming in Relationship with Earth)*, these 2.0 workshops are "deep dives" into specific farming and homesteading practices. We have invited expert facilitators to offer daylong workshops throughout the season.
Applications are rolling. Note that lodging and transportation are not provided for the 1-day workshops. We will provide a carpool link and list of local accommodations for registered participants.
