The Community Food and Agriculture Coalition and Farm Link Montana are
excited to announce the lineup for Farmer Field Days 2017. This season's
lineup highlights marketing approaches from unique products to handling and
processing techniques. The Farmer Field days are a unique opportunity to
get a behind the scenes look, get answers from farmers who have done it
before and network with other beginning farmers and ranchers.

Field Days will be *the 3rd Wednesday of each month, from May through
September. *Check out the lineup:

May 17: Value Added Products to Diversify Farm Marketing, Lower Crossing
Farm, St. Ignatius
June 21: Grazing Management for Soil Health, Oxbow Cattle Company, Lolo
July 19: Efficient Harvest and Post Harvest Handling, Harlequin Organic
Produce, Arlee
August 16: Small-Scale Cut Flower Production & Marketing, Mighty Fine Farm,
Missoula
September 20: Managing a Cider Apple Orchard, Billingsley Cider Orchard,
Stevensville

Our field days are geared toward people who are just at the beginning of
their farm exploration- farm hands, interns, folks thinking about starting
a farm in the near future, and those who are currently in the startup
process. Of course, established farmers and ranchers are welcome too! We
ask that you RSVP ahead of time so that we can have a good estimate of
numbers in advance.

See you there!
