2026 New Farmer U

Mar 21 - Mar 22 | Lanesboro, MN | Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center | $
Hit the ground running this growing season with New Farmer U, an early spring mini-academy designed to build farmers’ business skills. This weekend-long retreat in March welcomes farmers who are just starting out—whether you are still dreaming, just beginning, or in your first ten years of farming—no matter where you live or what you grow.

The event will be held at the beautiful Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center, a nonprofit that helps people learn through a variety of hands-on experiences that encourage care for the earth and each other. Located in Minnesota’s Driftless region, this setting offers a special place to explore, learn, and grow in nature, making it an ideal setting for New Farmer U.
