Stay tuned for registration opening in October!

Care Farming Network is excited to announce our Inaugural National Conference at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. The conference is hosted in partnership with Red Wiggler Community Farm and ServiceNet’s Prospect Meadow Farm from January 13-15th, 2025. Attendees can look forward to farmer-to-farmer learning, inspiring speakers, educational workshops, farmer panels, and the chance to highlight the work of their own care farm. The Conference offers knowledge for all experiences and will create fertile ground to nourish a healthy and inclusive community. The goals of our conference focus on creating an inclusive, collaborative gathering that strengthens connections and builds community among care farmers.

This conference is an invitation to both aspiring and established care farmers from across the country who work with diverse communities to come together, learn from each other, share resources, raise awareness about care farming, and continue to grow our network. Join us to advance our collective skills, knowledge, and language about the transformational field of care farming!
