CANCELED: Women in Agriculture (WAVES) Discussion Group: Auxiliary Farm Income
November 11, 2019
M 6:00pm - 7:30pm
Warsaw, NY
Due to the inclement weather, we have had to cancel tonight's discussion group meeting. Stay warm out there! CVP will repost the event if we are able to reschedule for a different date - check back soon!
The final Women in Agriculture (WAVES) meeting, focused on auxiliary farm income, will be held Monday, November 11, 2019 at Burley's Berries and Blooms in Warsaw.
Our host, Megan Burley, runs a creative and diversified farm that uses the existing farm infrastructure and landscape assets to augment her business's primary strawberry and cut flower income. Megan will teach participants how to use farm products to craft unique, value added fall and winter wreaths to extend your marketing season and supplement your farm product offerings. Megan can also discuss how social media helps promote her auxiliary farm products to a broader audience.
Additionally, we will be discussing Christmas Tree Production as an alternative use of farmland. Katherine Humphrey of All Western Evergreen Nursery and Christmas Tree Farm in Springwater, NY will be present to discuss Christmas tree/tree production.
