SUMMARY:Organic Farmer Storytelling Workshop (Story Lab 101)
DESCRIPTION:The Organic Farmer Storytelling technical assistance project was created to help farmers make their businesses stand out and build trust with buyers and consumers\, because farmer stories are the most powerful tool we have for shifting consumer demand toward a domestic\, organic supply chain. You already have the stories. You just need the guidance and tools for sharing them effectively! \nA 90-minute hands-on workshop session designed to help organic farmers tell their farm story clearly\, confidently\, and in their own voice so they can grow their business and help others understand what organic is and why they should buy organic. \nAfter completing the 101 session\, farmers will be invited to participate in the 102 session on Oct. 27.
