Event Summary
This annual conference brings together organizations from across the U.S. and Canada that are committed to building resilient farming communities, empowering new farmers, and ensuring equitable access to sustainable agriculture to participate in workshops, networking, and peer-to-peer learning on running successful incubator and apprenticeship programs.
Each year New Entry hosts FIELD School in a different community to foster regional equity and honor diverse lands and climates.
Attendees exchange ideas, build relationships, and visit local farms to see training programs in action. We gather to strengthen training programs and improve outcomes for thousands of farmers nationwide.

I've never been to a conference more valuable. I walked in and immediately met people doing exactly the work I'm trying to do. It's not just a conference about farming. It's a conference about incubator programs and training programs, a very particular niche. And I'm just so happy to be here!
