The Grown in Marin farming and ranching workshops will feature half-day presentations on the nuts and bolts of farming practices and present challenges that current farmers face. Talks will draw heavily on UCCE Farm Advisors from UC Davis and Cooperative Extension Offices around the state. As usual, the visiting Farm Advisors will be joined by local farmers to make up a working panel. The topics are drawn from evaluations that workshop participants have filled out and many workshops are created in conjunction with other farm advocacy organizations in and around Marin County.

Please read below for information about upcoming and past workshops. Please also visit UCCE’s website, www.growninmarin.org, for more information and to register.

Please continue to check back for upcoming workshops. Also, please consider joining Marin Organic on a Farm Tour to learn more about Marin Organic farms.
