Can't make it to EcoFarm? Send a farmer!

On this Giving Tuesday, help a beginning farmer attend EcoFarm to gain the knowledge, tools, networks and inspiration they need to advance their livelihoods as ecological stewards. Please consider a tax-deductible donation to the Scholarship Fund so they can continue to grow and nourish our communities.

Scholarship recipients receive a full day at EcoFarm including lunch (a $178 value). With your donation, you will give a farmer:

• access to workshops and events at the conference
• the opportunity to meet and learn from experienced farmers
• a chance to network with other beginning farmers
• access to the resources available to our large and diverse ecological farming community.  

Donate now and EFA will match over $2.00 for every dollar you donate. Give a new farmer a great start and help us continue to advance ecological agriculture.

Thank you for your interest, support and generosity!
