Chesapeake CRAFT Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training

"Chesapeake CRAFT is organized by farmers interested in improving practical new farmer training and networking in the region, particularly in sustainable agriculture. The goal of Chesapeake CRAFT is to coordinate and facilitate learning opportunities for farm apprentices, interns, and workers, through a combination of farm visits, classes, and potlucks. The Chesapeake CRAFT program consists primarily of visits to farms and farm projects in Virginia and Maryland that emphasize successful ecological approaches to agriculture and are within a two-hour drive from Washington DC. Individuals who are not working with a participating CRAFT farm, but wish to join the program, can join the program independently."
