NEW FARMERS ACADEMY
There is an opportunity for folks who have never farmed before to gain some knowledge and experience in the New Farmers Academy, a program supported by Tennessee State University and led by one of our staff, Finis Stribling III, the small farm specialist for TSU. This academy is a unique school, meeting once a month from March through September. This is a look at farm business and marketing basics to help build management skills. Basic agricultural practices are also covered in each session. There are a wide range of topics here, from plant to animal to value-added concepts. There is also hands-on experiences with some of the sessions that will help develop production skills.
Contact Finis at fstribli@tennessee.edu for details and questions.
