Women for the Land Field Day and Learning Circle

May 3, 2022 @ 10:00 am 4:00 pm

Join Carter Family Farm for a Learning Circle Field Day focused on “Finding resources to support the health of your business and your farmland.” At this circle, we’ll discuss strategies for navigating USDA resources to support the stewardship of your land. The day will include a farm tour, a resource fair, vegan soul food lunch and an opportunity to build more relationships with other women. In collaboration with the Black Family Land Trust, Inc., American Farmland Trust is hosting a Learning Circle to re-convene our network of women in agriculture in Virginia and meet new women who want to learn more and access more resources to support their success on the land.

Speakers will include Michael Carter, Jr. from Carter Family Farm and other local women farmers, as well as Ebonie Alexander at the Black Family Land Trust, Inc., and USDA agency staff representatives. Facilitation and support provided by American Farmland Trust.

Gas stipends are available.
