Are you a beginning small farmer and have marketing questions you need answered? Come

out to VSU Randolph Farm for a unique farm and spill the tea time experience. We’ll first

meet at the main farm (look for the blue tents) by the high tunnels. First, we’ll walk through

and discuss the edible flower and herb high tunnel. Then we’ll sit down and sip tea and talk

through your marketing questions. This is a stress-free time with VSU small farm marketing

professor, Dr. Nartea and VSU SFOP agent, Jimmy Maclin. See you at the farm!
