Farm Equipment Primer: Safety and Types of Equipment for Small Farms with NOFAvore social and New Farmer Mixer! (NOFA-VT Summer Workshop Series Event)

Pre-registration requested for NOFAvore social

Join Richard Larson as we go over basic safety rules for tractors and other typical small farm equipment. We will talk about tractors, PTOs, tillage equipment, and bucket loaders. We will also talk about small equipment and, for livestock farmers, safety tips when working with animals. Time permitting, we can talk about preventative maintenance. Larson Farm is a former commodity dairy farm, now milking 20 Jerseys for raw milk and supplying a local artisan cheese maker, as well as raising grass-fed beef.

Plus! Join us for RAFFL’s New Farmer Mixer and NOFAvore Celebration with the mobile pizza oven at 7pm! All new and aspiring farmers are invited to come mix, mingle, and meet new farming friends.
