Care farming can feel like lonely work, but someone else has probably already solved the problem you’re facing. CFN Peer Circles are small, free Zoom groups where care farmers who share a focus meet to learn from each other. There are no lectures or slides. Members bring real questions from their farms, swap what’s working, and solve problems together. Circles meet at least four times, either monthly through the winter or quarterly. Calls aren’t recorded, so everyone can speak openly.
This peer circle is for those running a farm program for young people in foster care or aging out of it, or dreaming of starting one. Farmers already doing this work will share what it takes, from agency partnerships and funding to trauma-informed spaces on the farm. People working with unhoused youth, trafficking survivors, and other young people navigating trauma are welcome too. This circle will be led by Kristin Hock of Fostering Farmers.
Register today to join the circle, starting Monday, December 7 at 7:00 PM ET. It will meet the first Monday of each month through March 1.
