Your Farm’s Not Perfect
In collaboration with CT Dept. of Agriculture, join Woven Roots Farm and UConn Extension's Solid Ground program as we talk about something that every farmer feels a little bit of- the guilt of not having your farm be perfect. We all strive to have our stalls perfectly mucked, our veggie rows weed free, and our tool sheds pristine and organized, but oftentimes, that's just not what farming is!
Jen of Woven Roots Farm in Tyringham, MA will talk about the stress of striving for the unattainable "perfect" farm, but also the practice of saying it's okay to not be perfect. She will talk about how and why she takes time to celebrate the successes she does encounter on a regular basis and why taking the time to recognize those "wins" are just as important to the success of your farm's business as balancing your accounts!
This FREE workshop is meant to be open to all, at all levels of farming, and attendance will be anonymous. Other participants will not see your name or video when you are attending this event. Questions will be submitted to the organizer who will share with the audience.
This work is supported by the 2021 SDA Farmer Rancher Stress Assistance Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Institute of Food and Agriculture
