We’re thrilled to welcome our first guest speaker, Rylan Morton Starner of Forestdale Farm! Rylan will share insights on Diversifying Your Farm & Regional Growing Tips—including strategies for income diversity, resilience, and adapting to Arizona’s climate.

When: Friday, October 17, 2025 · 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM (Arizona)

This session will include updates from Arizona Food Bank Network, the featured presentation, and time for questions and discussion. The Farmer Development Series will continue through the program year, with new registration flyers shared for each upcoming session.
