Not sure if we have any Massachusetts members yet, but just in case...
The New Entry
Sustainable Farming Project (NESFP) is a partnership organization of
Tufts University and Community Teamwork, Inc. that helps immigrants,
refugees, native-born Americans, and other socially-disadvantaged
individuals to become farmers in Massachusetts. NESFP offers a
comprehensive training course, farmland access, and technical
assistance to individuals interested in starting their own farm
enterprises. We also assist individuals to gain practical farm work
experience by connecting them to job opportunities on farms.
NESFP is continuing our efforts to develop and distribute a directory
of farms interested in employing farm labor. Likewise, we also want to
identify farmers interested in mentoring beginning farmers. If your
farm needs farm labor and you would like to be listed in the directory,
please take a few minutes to complete our online survey. The survey
includes 10 questions and should take no longer than 15 minutes to
complete.
We’ll have the final directory posted to our website, and print
versions will be distributed by mail to interested organizations and
partners, service providers, employment agencies, individuals, we’ll
give it to trainees in our courses, and at various outreach events.
Your response will be included in an online version of the directory
that will be updated throughout the year. However, if you would like
to be included in the print edition of the directory that will be
distributed to employment agencies, service providers, and to trainees
in our courses, please complete the survey before January 31, 2008.
Look for copies of the directory in March 2008!
