Upcoming GSG Events
Farmer Mixer
Join us for our fourth annual Farmer Mixer to meet NH agricultural businesses and organizations! The intention of this event is to bring the areas farming resources into one room so YOU can get a feel for what is available in the state.
Have you wanted to be a part of a bank that gives back to the local food system? Wondering how UNH Extension assists beginner farmers? How Wellscroft Fence Systems tests their materials on their own farm to ensure they can give you accurate, tested advice?
For this year’s mixer, we want to bring the sponsors into the conversation in a different way. We will be hosting roundtable discussions that center around our sponsors and include questions like those above.
Follow our social media pages or right here on our site for sponsor updates. Not all sponsors will be posted, so you won’t want to miss this event!
Statewide and Beyond
Northeast Grazing Dairy: Growing Graziers Cohort
Get ready to learn, connect, and grow! This 9-month, hybrid educational opportunity is for aspiring dairy farmers interested in managed grazing in the Northeast. It offers a supportive cohort model for learning and growing your network in the dairy community.
Growing Graziers is part of the national Dairy Grazing Apprenticeship (DGA), a registered U.S. Department of Labor program, and facilitated by Wolfe’s Neck Center, Pasa Sustainable Agriculture, UVM Center for Sustainable Agriculture, and Cornell Extension. For those already enrolled in the DGA apprenticeship program, this initiative can help to fulfill the related instruction requirement. For others not currently enrolled or for whom the registered apprenticeship isn’t the right fit, it offers an opportunity for connection and future career pathways within the dairy industry.
