🌿Social Media Support for Farmers: What Does It Look Like?
During this session, Abbie McGilvery (), marketing coach and social media strategist, and Emily Springer of Meeting House Herb Farm will share how they work together to coordinate social media for Meeting House Farm’s herb grower collective. They will discuss what types of content they create, what has worked best, how they plan throughout the year, and share stories about things that have “gone wrong” along the way. This interactive workshop will be full of tips and tricks for building visibility and engagement, with ample chances to ask your own social media and marketing questions.
🌿Herb Production: Adding Herbs to Your Crop Plan
Over 80% of the dried herbs sold in the United States are grown in Europe or Asia. In 2023, the overall herbal market in the United States was $199 billion dollars. This means that U.S. farmers are missing a huge opportunity to diversify their revenue stream while adding biodiversity to their farms. Imported herbs lose quality quickly. Quality U.S.-grown herbs are in high demand. Join Emily Springer of Meeting House Herb Farm to learn which herbs grow well in New England, which ones have solid market value, and many other tips for plant vitality, drying, storage, and market.
We hope to see you there!
