[BCFSN] Young Agrarians Farmer Mixers & Land Linking Events

[Vancouver Island Young Agrarians]

*Calling all new and young(ish and at heart) farmers, seasoned farmers, and
want-to-be-farmers!  *


Farmers from across BC will be gathering at two regional Young Agrarians
Winter Mixers in January and February 2018. Celebrating five years of
Winter Mixers, we’re bringing you a fantastic line-up of workshops and
sessions to take your farm business to the next level—or to get you
started! Join us on Vancouver Island or in the Okanagan for two full days
bursting with information, skills sharing, networking and phenomenal foods.


Get inspired, sharpen your farm skills, and build connections with other
new farmers. Mixers feature sessions on business and financial management,
land access, crop planning for market gardeners, soil biology and health,
and so much more!

LAND LINKING EVENTS:

Want Land? Got Land?


Are you a farmer looking for land? Are you a landowner looking for farmers?
We Want You! Join us at a Land Linking event near you in Salmon Arm,
Revelstoke, Vancouver Island, or Penticton to network, learn about leases,
and more! Topics you want to learn? Email land at youngagrarians.org.

WARNING: You may find a farmer who can turn your vacant field into a
productive farm, or keep your productive farm in production! Land seekers,
you may find a landowner with the land opportunity you’ve been seeking!
Come with an idea of what you are looking for, and a quick synopsis of your
vision for your land or future farm. List your land or farm dream on the YA
U-MAP today: maps.youngagrarians.org
