Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association Conference, Newark, OH February 17&18th, 2023, "Significant Scholarships for Beginning Farmers and Persons of Color"

Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association Conference, Newark, OH February 17&18th, 2023,  Opened registration; Scholarships for Beginning Farmers and Persons of Color

The OEFFA (Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association) conference has opened registration and has significant scholarships funds to cover registration for Beginning Farmers and Persons of Color. This is the state-wide conference held in Newark, OH February 17&18th, 2023. 

A welcoming and accessible conference for beginning farmers and an increasingly diverse community of farmers of all experience levels is extremely important to us. To further this goal, OEFFA has conference funding available to support people who have been farming less than ten years, as well as Black, Indigenous, and persons of color who are or want to be in food system work—farmers, farmworkers, food preparation and service workers, food nutrition and food system advocates, or food and farm educators. If you fit one or both of those criteria, please consider applying. Priority will be given to Ohio residents who have not previously attended the conference. Conference participants who purchase their registration are not eligible for this funding. To apply, visit oeffa.org/scholarship, or call Sasha Sigetic at (614) 947-1642. Funds will be awarded on a rolling basis.
