Roberts Roost Farm Tour
August 28, 2017 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us at Roberts Roost Farm to learn about innovative beginner farmer training and a local food hub! Meet farmers, chefs, and consumers that are some of the top supporters of our locally grown food movement.
Roberts Roost Farm is a small fruit and vegetable farm owned by Cathy Tipper, who helped to establish Future Harvest CASA’s Beginner Farmer Training Program (BFTP). Join us for a farm tour, potluck, and discussion of the BFTP, local farming networks, and local food hub, Chesapeake Farm to Table (CF2T).
The BFTP aims to build more economically viable, sustainable, small-scale farms in the Chesapeake region through educational programs and hands-on training. Many BFTP graduates sell to top chefs and consumers through CF2T. CF2T is a farmer-owned, cooperatively managed online marketplace for local, high-quality, and sustainably grown produce.
This evening includes a potluck – please bring a dish!
Event co-hosted with Chesapeake Farm to Table.
Generously sponsored by North Central Insurance Agency.
