Join us at The Hickories and hear farmer Dina Brewster talk about starting and managing their CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) operation. With the increased demand for CSA shares, this workshop is for anyone considering starting or expanding this type of operation. Michael Keilty will attend to give a 5 to 7 minute talk about risk management.

A light meal is included.
