Pricing for Perennials Workshop
September 25 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am
From ornamentals and berries to fruit trees and medicinal herbs, perennial crops are an attractive way for farmers to diversify their offerings and shift their production schedules, but they’re not always a bed of rosaceae. Join us for a FREE farmer-to-farmer workshop next week to get financial and operational insights to help make perennial crops a successful part of your farm.

This workshop will feature presentations from two leading local farms: The Farm Connection, an edible, medicinal, and native plant nursery and garden center in Marshall, NC; and J&M Farms, a family-owned mountain apple orchard in Hendersonville – who both recently graduated from Mountain BizWorks’ ScaleUp WNC program. The presentations will be followed by Q&A, a roundtable discussion, and FREE lunch.
This workshop is made possible through a collaboration with Mountain BizWorks and ASAP, and funded via a grant from the Southern Risk Management Education Center. Appalachian Grown certified farms who register and attend this workshop will receive a workshop stipend of $27.75 to help cover some of their off-farm time.
