On-Farm Workshops

Join us at our on-farm educational workshops, hosted on farms and ranches throughout TX!

Our workshops, designed for groups of 25–30 producers, feature farm or ranch tours led by host producers, in-depth lessons, hands-on demonstrations by expert educators, and opportunities to connect with fellow producers.

These workshops are a great way to learn new farming methods and strategies in a casual and supportive setting.
