Effective communication is essential and can be transformative for your farm operation. In this two-day long interactive workshop, Improving Farm Communication, participants will address real-life situations to learn about communication styles, ways to have better conversations, and have a chance to practice new skills. In this workshop, we will cover the basics of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), aka Compassionate Communication, and how it can be applied to your personal, farm life, and business. On-farm communication is critical for farm viability and is one of the most common sources of conflict and frustration for farmers, family members, business partners, employees, and customers.

Come if you:
Are part of a farm family or farm team
See the benefit of improved communication skills
Would like to have conversations that aren’t so awkward
Are ready to tackle difficult conversations
Find the stress of farm life difficult to express to others

Cost: $20 for a two-day workshop, including lunch on both days.
