Whether you’re looking to feed your community or scale up for wholesale, the difference between a stressful season and a successful one is a solid crop plan. Join us for a hands-on workshop designed to take the guesswork out of your growing season.
Local Farmer Carly McAndrews, from Trowel & Error, will lead the workshop, sharing years of trial and error farming experience. Alongside Carly, you’ll explore the art of timing, effectively using your space, and understanding yield per plant and row. This strategy session is tentatively scheduled to be held at Resilient Sustainable Future Iowa City on March 11, 2026, from 6pm to 8:30pm.
There will be live interpretation in Spanish and Swahili.
Bring a friend and kick off the growing season! Please register so we know how many to expect!
Free for Farmers & Market Gardeners
$10 suggested donation for community members can be donated at the door the night of the event.
This event is brought to you by Iowa Valley RC&D and made possible through a federally-funded USDA Land, Capital, and Market Access (LCMA) Grant.
