Farm Bill 2023 and Climate-Friendly Farming Letter Writing Campaign and Info Session

FreeSwing by the UMass Student Farmer’s Market to learn about the most recent Farm Bill updates and the policies that would further support climate-friendly farming practices locally and nationally. We’ll have a quick and easy online letter template available for individuals to customize with their personal story and send to their elected representatives to inform them of the specific climate and agricultural policies and priorities that are important to our farming community. Also, take the opportunity to peruse the vegetables, herbs, teas, and crafts on offer at the student farmer’s market!
