Beginning Farmers Program

FARMER CIRCLES

Farmer Circles are peer-to-peer learning communities for farmers interested in sharing obstacles and strategies in a small, semi-structured, supportive environment. Each project year, farmers will join a circle focused on a topic or issue that interests them and explore this topic together. In addition to digging into a particular topic together, these circles will provide CT farmers with a social network that they can rely on to counter the stresses and risks of farming. The facilitator of each group will receive a stipend of $800 and have the chance to develop their skills as a group leader as they work with NCTFA and NOFA to create a successful learning environment.
