In the heart of Oregon City, where the spirit of agriculture and community, thrives at the Small Farm School 2024. This event stands as a beacon of learning and growth for local farmers, aspiring agriculturalists, and anyone interested in the sustainable future of farming. Set to take place at the esteemed Clackamas Community College, this year’s school promises an enriching curriculum of workshops ranging from soil health to farm business and marketing. But what really sets this event apart is the sense of unity and support it fosters through sponsorship and participation.
Sponsorships are the lifeblood of this event, playing a critical role in keeping registration costs manageable for participants, ensuring top-notch equipment and facilities are available, and most importantly, compensating our farmer presenters fairly. These contributions don’t just fuel the event itself; they also enable the Small Farm School to offer scholarships to those who would benefit most, including military veteran farmers, BIPOC farmers, and students. This opens doors for many who dream of contributing to our sustainable future but face financial hurdles in accessing such valuable educational resources.
Mark your calendars for September 11th, a day when Clackamas Community College’s Clairmont Hall will become a hub for knowledge-sharing and community strengthening among those passionate about agriculture. Whether you’re keen on vegetables, livestock, soil health, fruit trees, or farm marketing, there’s a workshop designed just for you. What’s more, tapping into this reservoir of farming wisdom has never been easier. Potential sponsors and exhibitors can secure their spot with a simple click on the ‘Reserve a Spot’ button, signaling their commitment to fostering an enriched agricultural community.

Free opportunities for nonprofit exhibitors further highlight the inclusive spirit of this event. For those who wish to make a more pronounced impact, consider our sponsorship packages, ranging from Egg to Flock, each coming with its bouquet of benefits including social media highlights, website presence, and registrations for attendees.
