The University of Tennessee Southern and the UT Extension Center for Profitable Agriculture are teaming up for their second annual Reaching Local Farms educational workshop for farmers and farm families in the southern middle Tennessee region.

The event will be held on the UT Southern Campus at 6pm Tuesday, December 13th, for farmers and commercial growers interested in specialty vegetable crops. While this session will focus on garlic and microgreens, other specialty vegetables will also be addressed.

There’s no cost to attend the workshop, but registration is required. Those who register in advance will be sent detailed instructions regarding the building, meeting room and parking instructions.

The workshop is provided as part of a specialty crop project funded in part by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service and the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. For additional information about the workshop, contact Rob Holland at 931-698-3211.
