This ​multi-day ​workshop ​will ​provide ​beginning ​and ​experienced ​forest ​farmers ​with ​the ​tools, ​knowledge, ​and ​resources ​they ​need ​to ​take ​their ​small-scale ​or ​hobby ​operation ​to ​the ​next ​level. ​The ​event ​will ​provide ​classes ​on ​specific ​best ​business ​practices, ​as ​well ​as ​peer-to-peer ​learning ​opportunities ​through ​workshops ​led ​by ​forest ​farmers ​who ​have ​built ​their ​own ​successful ​businesses. ​Forest farmers ​will ​explore ​the ​intersections ​and ​divergences ​between ​the ​financial ​opportunities ​available ​and ​the ​draw ​of ​working ​on ​the ​land, ​and ​how ​to ​build ​an ​operation ​that ​allows ​you ​to ​incorporate ​what ​you ​love ​with ​what's ​commercially ​viable. Forest farmers ​will ​also ​explore ​cost ​share ​opportunities, ​and ​the ​economic ​trade-offs ​to ​consider ​before ​deciding ​between ​full-time ​and ​part-time ​forest ​farming.
