Urban Growers Gathering – 11/17/23 Save the date!

You are invited to spend an evening at Eastie Urban Farm to connect with American Farmland Trust (AFT) and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) staff along with folks working in Urban Agriculture!

We invite urban growers, producers, farms, organizations and individuals that contribute local food to urban communities to unwind and check in as the growing season winds down. There will be locally sourced food, drinks and resources for all to enjoy. The event will include a brief presentation on AFT and NRCS resources followed by a professionally facilitated community check-in to discuss and understand access barriers, needs and solutions to better support urban producers and distributors. Please join us to celebrate urban growers after a very tough season and feel free to share with your local garden auntie, friends and farm-ily!

This event will be outdoors with an indoor option, we encourage masking and encourage negative COVID tests prior to attending the event.

Persons who require accommodations to participate in this meeting should contact Charline at (413) 459-9038 or cxu@farmland.org by 11/3/2023

Please share to any and everyone that is part of the urban agriculture community.
