The Capital Resource Conservation and Development Area Council and the Natural Resource Conservation Service-PA are hosting a Farming & Conservation Opportunities For Hispanic, African American, Other Underserved Farmers Workshop on April 9 in Berks County.

Farmers are invited to come and start a fresh growing season with new tools, ideas, and support from your production and conservation team.

Learn about opportunities for farmers from farmers, financial assistance programs, grants, land access, and that your voice matters.

Meet your partners in production and conservation that are willing to give you a hand.

The Workshop will be held at the Pine Forge Academy, 361 Pine Forge Road in Pine Forge, Berks County from 9:00 a.m.to 3:00 p.m.
