“Pioneering a movement, growing a community”
The Care Farming Network is excited to announce our inaugural National Care Farming Conference, taking place from January 13-15, 2025, at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. This landmark event, hosted in partnership with Red Wiggler Community Farm and ServiceNet’s Prospect Meadow Farm, will offer a dynamic platform for farmer-to-farmer learning, inspiring speakers, hands-on workshops, and engaging panel discussions. Attendees will also have the opportunity to showcase the incredible work being done on their own care farms.
Our goal is to create an inclusive and collaborative space that strengthens connections and builds a thriving community among care farmers. Whether you are an aspiring or established care farmer, the Care Farming Network National Conference will offer shared knowledge and resources for all. Together, we will nourish the growth of the care farming movement across the U.S. while building a supportive, healthy, and diverse community.
