Because this network is by and for Connecticut farmers who are just as busy as you, you know you’ll never get too many emails. It’s a great way to stay informed and engaged with the statewide farming community.
Farmer Circles are peer learning communities for farmers interested in discussing a particular topic in an informal, supportive environment. Each circle meets for at least 12 hours over the course of about one year and is facilitated by a CT farmer with interest in the subject. There are no teachers or students in the circles, just a community of farmers coming together to learn from each other! The circles are best suited to farmers who have been farming 3+ years, but are open to all.
