Field to Future (Youth Experience Workshops)

Many farmers are retiring and most are above the age of 58 years old… we need to pass along the knowledge to the next generation of farmers! This exciting opportunity is geared for Youth ages 15 to 30, to you them valuable outdoors experiences with growers that are a part of the LocalMotive Farmers Network Co-operative. Volunteers will have an opportunity to learn about the Okanagan region’s food system, food security, and develop hands-on farming experience and skills through a range of regeneratively run host farms in Summerland BC.

Each workshop is from 9 am to 1:30 pm at different host farms in the Summerland area. All participants can share a free vegetarian lunch, featuring a locally made soup and salad. Please be equipped for all types of weather, and bring a hat and water to drink, and a snack if needed. Transportation to the site is not included.
