“One of the simplest ways to get into farming is by starting a small poultry operation,” said Lucia Schulz, community organizing associate for the Center. “During these workshops, poultry farmers will help you along that path. We will provide the beginner and/or existing farmer with the resources needed to start or add a poultry operation.”
Registration is required by June 15 at cfra.org. For more information, contact Schulz at lucias@cfra.org or 402.380.7006.
