Roots to Revenue: Farming & Business Workshop
Roots to Revenue: Farming & Business Workshop
Farm School on Wheels is excited to partner with the dedicated Veteran’s Farm of NC to host a “FREE” two-part, in-person workshop, made possible by the Robeson Small Business Center.
About this event
This special event offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from Founder/CEO Roxanne Reed of Farm School on Wheels and Founder/Executive Director Robert Elliott of Veteran’s Farm of NC.
You’ll also have the chance to connect with local agricultural organizations. Together, we aim to showcase farming as a meaningful and viable career path for Native Farmers, Veterans, and their families across North Carolina.
Join us to explore the rewarding opportunities within agriculture and be part of a supportive community that fosters farming as a sustainable and fulfilling business.
While we encourage in-person attendance, we understand that leaving your farm isn’t always possible. We’ll also be hosting the workshop via Zoom, and a recording will be available for “FREE” on the Farm School on Wheels Digital Learning Lab.
