The first Building Farmers workshop postponed until May 1

The first Building Farmers workshop in Tillamook will be postponed for a week to give people more time to register. We have eliminated the registration fee in hopes that might remove a barrier for some folks. We will begin May 1 at 5:30pm at the Extension Office.

This workshop series is for beginning small farmers held in Tillamook. The workshop might be attractive to Lincoln County producers, particularly in the north end of the county.
Download a brochure and registration form.

Bring your own meal, or we can see about ordering some take out to be paid by each person that needs it.

Please get the word out. If you know someone interested in this workshop, please pass the information on to them. Thank you.
