This workshop, hosted by CT-NOFA,  will offer attendees a chance to explore and share strategies to help farms cope with the challenges of climate change associated with drought, heat stress, excessive moisture, longer growing seasons, unpredictable weather, and changes in pest pressure.

Participants will also learn about State and Federal programs that can help them adapt, including conservation programs, risk management tools, and crop insurance products.  Current examples and techniques from the Massaro Farm will be discussed.

Bring a potluck dish or snack to share for a social time with beginning and experienced organic farmers.
