ACORN presents GROW! a fantastic award-winning film about the movement of young farmers in Atlanta, Georgia. GROW! screenings will accompany ‘Meet and Greet’ sessions for farmers and aspiring farmers to connect, access helpful resources and learn what agricultural apprenticeships are available within the region.

Are you interested in farming this summer? Following the 50 minute film, we will then lead a discussion about available New Brunswick-based farmer training opportunities. We will feature a panel of several farmers from the area, many of whom are offering farm-based apprenticeships for the 2012 season. Don’t miss this chance to meet these busy folks and learn more about issues facing the future generation of organic farmers in North America.

Admission is just $5/person with all proceeds supporting ACORN’s Grow A Farmer program.
