Interested in starting a farm, diversifying an existing farm, or beginning an agritourism business? Plan to join us at the annual “Starting and Improving Farms Conference” Sept. 23-24 at Penn State Harrisburg.
The two-day conference is aimed at helping attendees build and expand networks and identify new ideas and opportunities. On the first day, attendees will connect with new and existing farmers as they tour small regional farms. Day 2 will address both production and business best practices for startups and expansion. Attendees can choose from four breakout rooms where discussions will address the needs of farming operations, including horticulture, livestock and poultry, agritourism, and finances.
Register through 11:59 p.m. Sept. 15. More information is available on the Penn State Extension website at https://extension.psu.edu/startingandimprovingfarms.
