Keeping the Farm Workshop

keeping the farm

The Keeping the Farm Workshop has been a staple of the Wake Soil and Water Conservation District calendar for years. The annual event is a great opportunity for Wake County farm and forest landowners to learn more about topics related to their concerns and interests for protecting and preserving their family farms. The goal of the workshop is to educate farm and forest landowners on stewardship and preservation, covering topics such as taxes, estate planning, conservation practices and more. Ensure your farm and forest land stays in the family for generations to come!
