Farmer Training Program 2026
Attendee Registration
Although it is too late to join the 2026 Cohort, you are cordially invited to attend any, or all, of the upcoming online workshops.
The Attendee option is ideal for folks that want to grow their skills in one particular topic, and/or learn more about Louisiana specialty crop production, increase their understanding of the needs of specialty crop producers, or folks who canât commit to the Cohort option due to work/life constraints.
Attendees will be in view/listen only mode for the online workshops but may connect with technical assistance whenever possible through the Louisiana Small Scale Agriculture Coalition.
To Register, select the âRegisterâ button on each of the Sessions youâre interested in attending.
