Our Network is comprised of bright, thoughtful individuals, and we know we can reorient ourselves and our programming better through learning together. Join our 2nd community check-in via Zoom call on 3/27. Hear from farms about their experiences, ask questions, and share resources you've found to be helpful at this uncertain time.
A place for sharing and asking questions. Discover conversation threads on the following topics, and add your own!
What is an adaptation you have made at your farm/site related to coronavirus?
What is an innovation you've observed in agriculture, education, farm-based education, cultural institutions that you find inspiring?

How are you communicating with customers/visitors/program participants?
Camp directors: have you made the call to cancel camp or are you still hopeful camp will run?
How are you handling programming refunds?
