The Hudson Valley CSA Coalition and the Hudson Valley Young Farmers Coalition are continuing to co-host virtual gatherings of our community on a weekly basis, Wednesdays at 7:00 pm, for farmers to learn, skill-share, and support each other.

This Wednesday, April 29, Claudia Kenny (Little Seed Gardens and NYS Ag Mediation Program) will facilitate our conversation. This call will be different from previous ones in a couple of ways. See the description below:

Community Building Listening Circle for Farmers
Relationships are the basis of healthy communities. In times of crisis, we knit our farm community together through profound respect and deep listening.

This session will give farmers the chance to speak without interruption and with the full listening presence of the group. There is never an obligation to speak and silence is a welcome part of the process. Participants can pass on their turn or hold space for some silence.

The session will begin with a welcome and description of process.  Due to the nature of this session, our meeting will be locked after the first ten minutes.

Prompts will offer opportunities to share and learn about the concerns, stressors and fears we are working through either personally or professionally, as well as positive possibilities and hopes we carry in this uncertain time.
