Join the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association’s Farm Services Team for our monthly Virtual Technical Meet-Ups — a free, informal space for farmers to connect, ask questions, and get expert guidance on production, conservation, and business planning. Each session features timely topics, practical tips, and Q&A with CFSA staff and guest specialists. Whether you’re a beginning or experienced farmer, these meet-ups are a great way to stay informed and build community with others in sustainable agriculture across the Carolinas. Held the first Tuesday of each month at noon via Zoom.
