You heard it here first!
The Youth Farm Safety Project and the Women’s Agricultural Network are collaborating on an overnight safety camp for young women (14-19) and their female farming mentors.
We’ll be gathering at Spring Brook Farm in Reading, Vermont the first weekend in May for two days of hands-on workshops taught by farmers and safety professionals.
Workshops will include tractor and machinery safety, livestock safety, farm first aid, farm fire safety, woodlot safety, working safely outdoors, ergonomics, self-defense, and a movie to boot!
Daughters and mothers, aunts and nieces, employees and employers, neighbors and friends -come join us in building safe skills and safe habits across generations. 
The program fee is $40 per participant. This includes lodging, four meals, and all workshops.
