Blue Ridge Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training (工艺) cultivates meaningful mentor relationships between aspiring 和 experienced farmers.
We believe that the educational 和 professional development of tomorrow’s growers 和 producers informs the health of our diverse local-food system 和 rural economy.
Based upon 工艺 models like Organic Growers School's WNC工艺 还有类似的学徒网络, 蓝岭船 connects aspiring farmers with experienced farmers 和 encourages innovative on-farm educational 和 professional experiences.
