The Emerging Farmers Conference is focused on farmers and the content is led by farmers. It is for farmers who traditionally face barriers (including immigrant farmers and farmers of color) to the education and resources needed to have a successful and sustainable farm enterprise. Deadline for proposals has been extended to March 24, 2025.
Do you have a session you'd like to share at the conference? Would you like to work with the EFC planning team to put together a presentation? Do you have experiences to share that will help other emerging farmers become successful? We invite you to submit a proposal for a session. As a conference, we prioritize sessions led by emerging farmers, immigrants, indigenous and farmers of color. We look for sessions that are either led by farmers or co-presented with farmers. The style of learning preferred is hands-on, demonstrations, visual and observation based.Submit a Session Here!
The deadline to submit proposals is Monday March 24, 2025.
