Please join us for a Learning Circle covering the nitty gritty details of starting a sustainable farm business. What kind of permits will you need? Are you located in an ag district? What does that even mean? Who do you turn to for support? Learn directly from farmers and service providers who have overcome every obstacle to make their farming dreams a reality.
We will meet at Burley's Berries and Blooms in Warsaw for a winter wreath-making workshop and farm tour. Then we will drive to the Chalet at East Hill Creamery for a hot lunch and an afternoon discussion led by Diane Held, Executive Director of Cornell Cooperative Extension-Erie County.
Burley's Berries and Blooms is a boutique U-Pick Fruit & Flower Farm hosting on-farm events and will soon operate an artisanal creamery producing cream line milk and specialty products.
