SUMMARY:Land Social at Lohbrunner Community Farm Co-op
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to a socially-distanced outdoor Land Social at Lohbrunner Community Farm Co-op in Langford\, B.C.! If you’re curious about what land matching and sharing is all about – or just want to check out what your local farmers and farm interns are up to – join us for the event. \nThis event will tour Lohbrunner Community Farm\, a cooperatively managed farm owned by FarmFolk CityFolk\, which includes garden space for core co-op members as well as two market garden operations. \nWe’ll tour the farm\, network\, and look at the steps to building a successful land sharing relationship. Your regional Land Matcher will share information about how the B.C. Land Matching Program can help you find the perfect farmer for your land – or farmland where you can build your dream farm business. \nLand Socials connect farmers and farmland holders\, and set them up to receive ongoing support through the B.C. Land Matching Program. Both farmers seeking land and farmland holders thinking about sharing land are encouraged to attend – as well as anyone who loves food\, farming\, and getting out onto the land.
