2022 Farmer Field Schools

2022 Farmer Field Schools in Baltimore, MD organized and taught by UMD Extension

Each year, UMD Extension's urban agriculture program organizes educational Farmer Field Schools across Baltimore City.This year we are trying a "barn-raising" or "harvest-party" format. We will gather at the farm or garden hosting the workshop, learn from Extension educators and farmers how to do key farm tasks, and help with what the farm or garden needs extra hands for that day, sharpen our hands-on farming skills. Participants will learn how to safely use hand-powered farm tools, how to identify weeds and insect pests, and more. Water, gatorade, and light snacks will be provided. This eventbrite page is for the October 8 Farmer Field School at Farm Alliance of Baltimore's Black Butterfly Urban Farmer Academy training farm. A rain date is scheduled for Saturday, October 22. At this field school, we plan to help with harvesting dry beans.
