Every farm faces risks, from severe weather and equipment failures to accidents involving customers and visitors. This workshop will help farmers take a closer look at the risks facing their farms and develop practical strategies to prepare for them.
You’ll learn practical tools for assessing risk, improving visitor safety, and organizing critical farm responsibilities from Extension experts. Maria of MX Morningstar Farm will also share her “Doom & Gloom” spreadsheets, which track recurring business tasks, deadlines, and resources so someone else could step into her role if needed.
You will learn:
- Practical tools for identifying and prioritizing risks on your farm
- Strategies for preparing for unexpected events and emergencies
- How to assess common risks associated with agritourism
- Practical approaches to improving visitor safety, including traffic, parking, signage, activities, and visitor areas
- Steps you can take now to reduce risks and improve preparedness
Whether you’re looking to strengthen your farm’s overall risk management or make your agritourism operation safer, this workshop will provide practical strategies you can put to use on your farm.
