Leasing Organic Farmland Meet & Greet

Join fellow farmers, aspiring farmers, and land owners to connect over leasing organic farmland in the Treasure Valley!
About this Event

Our June meet and greet will be hosted at our Board President Janie Burns' Meadowlark Farm in Nampa. Meadowlark farm has been raising and selling grass-fed lamb since 1989.

Are you a current or aspiring small farmer in the Treasure Valley, looking for a secure place to put down roots? If so, join us to learn more about our current effort to secure a long-term lease on a large piece of land that will house a farm incubator! This project will provide access to shared land, infrastructure, equipment, and markets to independent farm businesses. It will also offer training, mentorship, and support for farmers at all stages of their farming journey.

Current and aspiring farmers welcome to come socialize, build connections, and learn about the Taproots Farm Hub project as a way to possibly access farmland for their businesses. Land owners welcome to join in on the conversation, too.

Food and drink on us. Ticket fees are refunded to you when you attend the event!
