Blue Rock Farmland Commons: A Story of Land Transition Webinar

WFAN is proud to have one of our longtime members, Annie Warmke, be a land owner transitioning her land to a next generation land steward and for WFAN to be one of the farmland commons organizational members! Blue Rock Farmland Commons is one of several farmland commons established under The Farmers Land Trust model. Check out our earlier webinar on the different ways this model can be applied. In this webinar, hear how Blue Rock Farmland Commons came into being from three of the women closest to it!

Our guest speakers include:

Annie Warmke, The Land Owner in Transition: Annie is the Founder of Blue Rock Station, is an award winning activist and farmer, and has dedicated four decades to the pioneering work of establishing rural safe housing for abused women and organizing women in agriculture.

Sarah Ricks, The Next Generation Farm Steward: Sarah Ricks is a mother, artist, educator, community organizer, and land steward who is committed to sustainable living and regenerative agricultural practices that fosters long-term well-being for all.
