We invite you to join the Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training (CRAFT) if you are seeking hands-on training in sustainable agriculture. You’ll learn to farm directly from some of our region’s most innovative sustainable farmers.

  • Annual CRAFT handbook with profiles of member farms, training schedule, and training resources.
  • Access to multi-year learning opportunities that will help you advance from learning beginning farming skills to starting your own farm.
