Ep 40. Challenges Young Farmers Face with the National Young Farmers Coalition

Today's guests on the show are Cara Fraver and Caitlin Arnold from the National Young Farmers Coalition. We talk about the different services and resources that they offer young farmers, including policy work, business resources, a national network of local chapters. We also dive into some of the big challenges that young farmers face today, like land access, mental health, climate change, access to credit, and how being part of a supportive network of farmers can help navigate those challenges.
