Updated: 6 days ago

This October, FBEN will convene farm-based educators for 2 ½ days of hands-on learning, discussion, and connection at Shelburne Farms, an education nonprofit and working farm in Shelburne, VT. This Gathering will bring together approximately 100 people to engage in big questions, like “why is farm-based education important,” and to share with each other through workshop presentations, meals, and peer to peer discussion. We'll balance learning on and off Shelburne Farms with time to relax, recharge, craft, and chat in the Coach Barn. Registration closed October 2nd.


Schedules At-A-Glance





Not to miss at the Gathering...

  • Workshop sessions on youth leadership through farming; balancing production and education; non-violent communication; multigenerational educational farms; teaching with chickens, and more...

  • Processing seeds to restock the Vermont Garden Network's community seed bank;

  • Rest to Digest yoga practice;

  • Felted flower and bead making and other farm crafts;

  • A sharing table for your favorite farm-based education resources;

  • Delicious farm to table meals;

  • An "Open Space" conversation to support learning on topics that arise throughout the event;

  • A 1400 acre working farm campus ready to welcome you and your inquiries.


Come with openness and curiosity, leave with new ideas for programs, DIY farm crafts in your suitcase, and a peer support network ready to stand the test of time.

개인적인 공간에서 차분하게 쉴 수 있는 시간을 원한다면 서비스 선택 기준을 정리해 보세요. 장소 선택의 편의성이 장점이며, 위생 관리와 요금 안내, 예약 변경 조건을 수원출장마사지 확인하면 여러 업체의 특징을 합리적으로 비교할 수 있습니다.

The Coach Barn crafting time sounds like the best part—sometimes the informal conversations at these gatherings teach you more than the workshops. I ended up down a rabbit hole last week reading about Scritchy Scratchy while procrastinating on my own farm education planning, which probably says something about how my brain works.

하루 동안 쌓인 피로를 풀기 위해 무리하게 외출할 필요 없이 편안한 공간에서 관리를 받을 수 있어 좋았습니다. 출장마사지 시간과 장소를 효율적으로 활용할 수 있고, 어깨나 허리처럼 자주 긴장되는 부위를 편안하게 관리하는 데 도움이 되어 일상적인 휴식 방법으로 괜찮았습니다.

디지털 서비스를 편리하게 이용하려면 결제 방식과 이용 조건을 정확히 확인하는 것이 중요합니다. 비교적 작은 금액을 처리할 상품권할인 때 활용할 수 있고 간편한 이용 과정이 장점이지만 과도한 사용은 피하는 것이 좋습니다.
