Young Agrarians Muskoka Mixer & Workshop with Jean-Martin Fortier, Author of The Market Gardener
MUSKOKA MIXER!
Wrap the growing season with a young farmer social at Grenville Farms! We're bringing together as many beginning and young(ish) farmers, as well as friends and foodies for a Saturday mixer and Sunday day-long Six Figure Farming for Small Plots workshop with Quebec Farmer and Author of The Market Gardener Jean-Martin Fortier.
The Young Agrarians has been growing a network of new and young farmers in British Columbia since January 2012. In Partnership with the National Farmers Union Ontario, we're excited to announce our first Ontario events this October in the Kingston and Muskoka areas. Thank you to rockstar young farmer Dan Kretschmar for working so hard to make this event happen on his family farm!
