Farm Profitability Seminar, Barre, MA, 2013

Registration Due Soon, October 21, 2013!

Any farmer who raises vegetable crops shouldn’t miss the one day Advanced Growers seminar with Michael Kilpatrick. He is one of the best examples of the up and coming organic CSA and farmers market growers in the Northeast. The $65 that you spend on November 4 will be earned back several-fold with what you learn from this highly successful practically based young farmer. I spent 1 ½ hours at one of his workshops this summer and was blown away with the practical takeaways for me as a CSA farmer.
