Owning and managing a farm, even a small one, can be a full-time job. Add to that a family and possibly a full or part-time off-farm job and you have a recipe for a schedule that may seem entirely booked and, at times, completely overwhelming. How then can you possibly squeeze in anything else and, more importantly, why should you?
Scheduling aside, even if you are inclined to become more involved in your farming community, it can be difficult to know where to start. Among many choices, deciding which organization is the best fit for you can seem like a daunting task.
