Interested in Hosting a skill sharing event of your own?

The BRWIA CRAFT program is centered around knowledge and skill sharing, encouraging mentorship and community building among farmers and local producers. To facilitate that, BRWIA encourages folks who have knowledge or expertise that they would like to share to host a "workshop" or skillsharing event, where they present on a topic of their choice, usually at their farm or place of business. Presenters can be joined by extension agents and other farmers or knowledgeable parties as well. You can find examples of previous workshops by scrolling down this page.

Workshop Requirements:
We encourage on-location workshops, but are also open to remote options.
Workshops are typically 1-2 hours long, with a potluck following to network and build community (location dependent)
Appropriate COVID-19 protocol must be adhered to. Masks must be worn when indoors, and social distancing measures followed at all times.

BRWIA staff members approve skillshares/workshops based on community interest, available funding, and time or logistical constraints. Each application is considered equally, and chosen based on the previously stated criteria.There is no deadline to apply, and applications are considered on a rolling basis. Please allow for a 2-week review period before following up on the status of your application.

We provide a $100 stipend for the hosting farm or business to help cover any workshop costs and to provide compensation for host's time and knowledge.
