Guild Monthly Meeting – Say Hello to the USDA

Last summer the USDA announced a new Service Center in Philadelphia. USDA also has this excellent page describing the Urban Farm Center Program.

In February Nina Berryman and Veronica Erenberg from the Philadelhia Urban Farm Center office will be on hand to meet you and answer your questions. All of our meetings are open to everyone, so you don’t need to be a beekeeper to get something out of this one.

They will tell us about their new office and what they can do to support your beekeeping business. USDA and other agencies have programs to protect farmers and beekeepers from catastrophic losses as well as funding and support for best practices.
