NH Agriculture Professionals Day: Preparing Fertile Ground

Join us at the beautifully restored Sanborn Mills Farm for the return of NH Agriculture Professionals Day. NH Agriculture Professionals Day is designed to build fellowship and togetherness within the agriculture service provider community. This gathering recognizes that our work does not happen in a vacuum and is most effective and transformative when we come together to share our unique skills and resources across organizations. With today’s theme, Preparing Fertile Ground, we will explore successful outreach and engagement stories from the past year, and get quick updates from the community through a lightning round on a range of topics. Join us for an optional tour of Sanborn Mills Farm at the close of the day.  

Who is an agriculture professional? Anyone who works or interacts with farmers and the agricultural community. We err on the side of inclusivity and invite anyone with interest to attend this gathering. As a network, we aim to deepen relationships across organizations and work collectively to address challenges associated with farming in New Hampshire.

Lunch provided.
