A reception featuring local refreshments, followed by a Q&A and community discussion with area new farmers. The New Farmer Q&A and community discussion will provide an opportunity for the community to ask questions of new farmers in the area and discuss topics of community interest around food and new farms. It will also include a short introduction to the findings of the Project and the situation of new farmers. Some of the new farms that will be present include Common Hands Farm, Diamond Hills Farm, Lineage Farm, New Leaf Farm, and Cowberry Crossing Farm. The New Farmer Narrative Project exhibit is a photo- and story-based display based on interviews and farm tours conducted by the Hawthorne Valley Farmscape Ecology Program, and will be at the Philmont Library from July 30 to August 13.
