Learn what it takes to create a supportive work environment on your farm, from hiring, training, and managing your crew!

What does it take to bring on crew to your small farm? Hear from three experienced farmers and one farmworker as they share hiring strategies, management practices and insights on how to create a healthy and productive work environment.

Some topics we’ll cover include:

  1. What needs to be in place before bringing on staff/crew?
