Join the Southern Allegheny Establishing Farmer Study Circle Network for an evening focusing on “Hiring the Best Employees for Your Farm Operation”. The event will be held April 3rd at Friends Farm in Williamsburg, PA from 6:00 to 8:30pm. Discussion points will include hiring and keeping qualified year round and seasonal employees.
This study circle will include an informal discussion over a potluck meal, and will be led by growers Tony Ricci and Mark Boyer. Tony will join us from Green Heron Farm, a five acre farm producing organic vegetables, small fruits, flowers, and herbs. Mark will join us from Ridgetop Orchards, a 500+ acre orchard operation that has many year round and seasonal employees. This program is free to all attendees; we only ask that you bring your questions on hiring employees, and a small dish to share with the group!
