Hatfield 2040 Farmer’s Roundtable
March 2, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The Hatfield Comprehensive Plan Committee is gathering input directly from Hatfield farmers about how agriculture in town is changing and adapting to increasingly unpredictable weather patterns. The last two growing seasons have demonstrated to many the need for improved irrigation, drainage, or both. Temperature swings, new disease pressures, and declining soil fertility are on the minds of many growers throughout the region – as well as opportunities to update infrastructure and try new farm management strategies.
Please join the Hatfield Ag Commission, Hatfield 2040 Comprehensive Plan Committee, and Regenerative Design Group for a candid farmer-to-farmer discussion about the challenges you are facing and changes you are making to adapt.
This event is for Hatfield farms of all sizes, both conventional and organic. Family members and additional farm operators are encouraged to attend. The topics discussed will also inform a follow-up workshop to provide additional learning, recommendations, and resources (technical assistance, grants, etc.) for Hatfield farmers. Funding for this work has been provided by the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs through the Massachusetts Municipal Vulnerability Program.
Food and refreshments will be served. Please RSVP so we know how many are attending. Notes from the meeting will be shared with all RSVP’d attendees after the event.
