Taproots Farm Hub

During the off-season, farmers are still working! Join our January Meet & Greet where we'll provide space for folks to collaborate on purchases of organic farm inputs like compost, seeds, and irrigation supplies for the upcoming farming season. So if you’d like to find out where folks source their supplies or who else wants to go in with you to buy that tote of potting soil you’ve been eyeing, this is your chance!

Join our lively monthly meet-up for farmers, aspiring farmers, land owners, and anyone feeling farm-incubator-curious. This informal workshop provides a chance for attendees to hear the latest updates on Taproots Farm Hub's exciting quest to build a farm incubator and to explore the needs and challenges of emerging Treasure Valley producers. There is always plenty of open time for mingling & networking, too! We'd love to have you join us! 

Yummy food and drink provided!
