The Small Farm Program in the College of Agriculture Science and Technology at Delaware State University will be hosting an Agricultural Enrichment Tour to New Jersey on August 14 and 15th 2024.
The goal of the trip is to help farmers, in Delaware and beyond, to gain insights on ways to improve or expand their production systems and to manage their enterprises profitably and sustainably. The Agri tour will introduce small and limited resource farmers and gardeners to farm innovation, production and marketing techniques, specialty crops, livestock production, agri solar technology and value-added products.
The participants will interact with university researchers, extension specialists, and other farmers. The bus will visit a myriad of sites. Participants will observe crops farms/farmers market, livestock farms, a winery, a business incubation center and an agrivoltaic center. Some of the sites have an agritourism segment associated with their operations. Addition items or farms may be observed on this tour.
The flyer attached provides the contact and registration information for the tour.
