Farming Organically Workshop Series

Interested in getting a taste and feel for organics in NB? Get it all at FBC's Farming Organically Workshops!

As part of the NB Organic Farm Apprenticeship Program, FBC organizes a series of 4 workshops on different organic topics from May to September.  Workshops rotate between organic farms around the province, giving participants a snapshot of the diversity, successes and challenges that organic farmers find in the field.

Each workshop brings a wide range of participants together - from farmers and apprentices involved in the apprenticeship program, and organic resource experts from the NB Department of Agriculture, to aspiring local organic farmers and gardeners, and the general public.  Events are set up to include a seminar/discussion in the morning with guest speakers, followed by an organic lunch from the farm and guided farm tour with hands-on activity. 

The workshop registration fee includes the seminar, lunch, tour and handouts/supplementary readings.   Farmers and apprentices in the NB Organic Farm Apprenticeship Program attend workshops for free.
